British doctor describes ‘deeply tragic’ hospital cases in Gaza
Dr Nick Maynard, a consultant surgeon who recently volunteered to provide medical services in Gaza, says the experience was shocking.
“I’ve been going to Gaza for nearly 15 years, and I thought I’d be prepared for what I was about to see. But what I saw at al-Aqsa Hospital was the worst cases in my 30-year career,” he told Al Jazeera.
“Appalling clinical injuries, mostly upon children and women. Terrible burns, traumatic wounds, and no real room to deal with these tragic cases.”
Maynard recalled a young girl with burns so bad on her face bone could be seen. “She clearly had no chance of survival and was going to die, but we had no pain relief to give her. She died in agony on the floor of the emergency department.”
