Hospitals in Gaza are now at breaking point, doctor Munir al-Barsh, the general manager for the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza said, speaking live on Al Jazeera Arabic from al-Shifa Hospital.
“There are dead bodies laying on the ground and birds eating from their flesh as they are left to rot,” he explained, saying that hospitals are overwhelmed and unable to cope with the volume of casualties.
The doctor added that ongoing air strikes have hit very close to the al-Shifa hospital, where 40,000 Palestinians are taking refuge.
