British surgeon Dr. Victoria Rose said in an interview with The Sunday Times that she faces a daily flood of children with amputated limbs while volunteering at Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza Strip.
She added, "Most of those on my list are injured due to bombings that affected young children, including amputations of arms, legs, and hands," explaining that she performs 12 surgeries daily.
The British doctor pointed out that despite long working hours reaching up to 14 hours a day, she tries to continue her work by maintaining daily videos on Instagram to show people abroad what the occupation is doing to the children, knowing that the occupation does not allow foreign journalists to enter the Strip and document what is happening.
