Jamal Salha, a doctor at Deir el-Balah’s Al-Aqsa Hospital, says the facility is packed with trauma patients, including children, severely hurt in Israel’s indiscriminate attack on the Nuseirat refugee camp, Al Jazeera reports.

“In our neurosurgical department, we admitted more than 20 patients with severe head injuries,” Salha told Al Jazeera.

“One of them was a child with a head injury that required surgery. Another was a child with a head injury due to shrapnel.

“He [the child] was without his family, most probably his family were killed,” said Salha.
