Aid group warns of unnecessary deaths at Gaza hospitals

Doctors Without Borders says severely injured people at overwhelmed Gaza hospitals are likely to die because the medical system is collapsing.

The aid group's president in France, Isabelle Defourny, said Wednesday that one of their surgeons in Gaza reported he will likely have to perform amputations on patients in the coming days because the breakdown in medical care means their limbs cannot be saved.

“The seriously injured who arrive every day … are condemned in the days to come," she said. "The doctors, the nurses courageously continuing to work won't succeed in saving their lives. Help is needed extremely urgently.” (AP)
