The chief surgeon for the International Committee of the Red Cross has given a harrowing account of an amputation his team performed at a hospital in southern Gaza in a video diary shared with Sky News. Dr Tom Potokar said his team had to amputate the hand of a six-year-old child with 'very deep burn injuries'. He said the boy's hand had been 'charred' and was the cause of ongoing infection which was making him very unwell. The child remains in a critical condition.
Dr Potokar said patients are still arriving at the hospital where colleagues are dealing with 'many burns', complicated blast injuries with extensive tissue loss and bone injury. A nursing staff shortage was presenting a major challenge due to the large number of dressing changes they are having to contend with, he said. They are also 'inundated with internally displaced people', he added.
