British surgeon in Gaza speaks out as Israeli offensive intensifies in Rafah – video | World News

British surgeon Dr Omar El-Taji has been in Gaza for more than a week for medical charity Fajr Scientific, working in one of Gaza’s largest remaining hospitals, as the Israeli invasion of Rafah s intensifies. The European hospital, founded by Unrwa with an EU grant, has limited resources and fewer local staff to treat large numbers of patients admitted with devastating injuries. “These people have been going through this for six to seven months now, they can’t take it anymore,” says El-Taji, who is currently living in the hospital after the medical team was evacuated from the safe house. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has so far rejected US pressure to delay a large-scale attack, saying Rafah is Hamas’ last stronghold and that Israel can only achieve its war goals by killing militants and leaders in the city.
