'At times I operated without anaesthetic': British surgeon's harrowing Gaza account | ITV News
A British surgeon who has just returned from Gaza has spoken to ITV News about the horrors he saw, the injured children he tried to save and moments 'he cannot take out his head’.
Dr Junaid Sultan worked at the last fully functioning hospital in the region, which is overwhelmed as the numbers of those injured in the conflict continues to rise daily, now reportedly exceeding 77,000 - of which the majority are women and children.
He spoke to ITV News reporter Martha Fairlie about his experience. This report contains some distressing images and accounts.

@@DH89715it's one sided as israel has tons of artillery yet target civilians. It explains why they are losing this genocide, they are focusing too much on non armed instead of the armed. Also we all know it was Hannibal directive from israelis with hamas attacking so it wasn't hamas only. Even if we are gonna ignore that israel invaded palestine in 1948, israel has for many times dropped bombs on gardens full of children, isn't that intentional targeting of civilians? Even ariel(an ex Israeli soldier) admitted in his Owen jones interview that israel designates a certain area as a warzone then kills everyone in it

Thank you so much for what you are doing! I've been doing similar and I believe that everyone needs to keep doing what they can. The combined efforts must surely have an effect? I believe that the US student protests are working. I believe that many people in the US are questioning their democracy and I agree that the fact that governments can so blatantly ignore the majority of their electors is a problem that needs serious addressing. (Just yesterday, I had the idea of the US becoming more like the EU - with States becoming more self governing. Texas, alone, has a population of 25 million people, which is about the same size as where i live (Australia). Democracy requires education and people who aren't strangers to each other and I think that decisions that apply to such a large population can be much harder to prevent from being controlled by a corrupt elite, if that elite is a small and unapproachable number of people, in a very large population. Anyway, I'm "writing as I'm thinking of the idea" and I'll have to think of where/to whom I can suggest it. Anyone reading: feel free to plagiarise and expand on that idea (which others may hopefully, have coincidentally had)! ❤️☮️
Thank you for speaking out and thank you for helping these people ❤❤
