Victoria Rose, a British consultant plastic surgeon, has worked in Gaza several times since the start of the conflict.

Speaking to Al Jazeera, the doctor described her time spent at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, in southern Gaza, in May and June as “relentless”.

“When we were there, we were operating every day without a break for the 24 days; I was averaging about 12 patients a day and my colleagues had separate operating lists,” Rose said.

“The bulk of what we saw initially was all bomb blast injuries and then in the latter part of the trip we started to see a lot of the gunshot wounds from the GHF shootings,” she added.

“What we’re seeing now is that the population is displaced and everybody is living in tents and this is where the bombs are going off – so there is no protection,” Rose continued, describing the traumatic injuries caused by the bombardment as “much more severe”.

“So we were seeing children with knees missing, with feet missing, with hands missing, with large chunks taken out of their faces; really, really significant injuries that many of them didn’t survive.”
