Fozia Alvi is a Canadian doctor and founder of the Humanity Auxilium relief charity. She has been visiting hospitals in Gaza and recounts her personal experience. "As someone who has worked in refugee camps in warzones I thought I had seen the worst until I got to Gaza. The humanitarian and medical situation on the ground is horrifying." "Lots of children with brain damage as a result of bombing. Some lost their eyesight. Amputations." "And also we saw that patients having treatment down when the bombing started - we saw them five months later with hardware [medical equipment] external-fixated still sticking out from their bones - with no post-op care, pus oozing from their bones with no post-op care and no anti-biotics to treat the wounds." "We saw muscle wasting in small children. Literally skin and bone." (Pic: Children being treated in Nasser Hospital, Gaza strip Credit: Reuters)
