Marie-Aure Perreaut, emergency coordinator at Doctors Without Borders, has spoken to Al Jazeera from inside al-Aqsa Hospital in central Gaza.
She said the organisation’s services in the war-torn enclave are extremely limited.
“The healthcare system is completely collapsed at the moment. It is difficult for us to keep up with the constant influx of the wounded,” she said.
“On top of this, it’s extremely difficult for the colleagues to be coming through the ER because they are the ones who are being wounded. Just about an hour ago, one of our colleagues came to the ER badly injured together with his family,” she added. “It is extremely traumatising.”
Perreaut also said that many of the wounded are unable to access treatment because health centres are being ordered to evacuate and the roads are not safe to reach the available clinics.
