British surgeon in Gaza compares Palestine to ‘slaughterhouse’ | News

A British doctor working in Gaza has described it as a “slaughterhouse” as Israel intensifies its attacks on the enclave.

Surgeon Tom Potokar compared the situation in Khan Younis to Stalingrad due to the “massive extent of destruction.”

“Because of the blockade, there’s so little stuff getting in. There’s no food getting in, so people are starving. There’s very little medical supplies coming in,” he added.

UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric said that despite more supplies arriving in Gaza, none have yet reached the starving population as teams ran out of time after the Israeli military made them transfer the aid onto separate trucks.
