Al Jazeera spoken to Nada Abu Alrub, an Australian doctor who has been volunteering at al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, about the situation at the facility.
Abu Alrub described “heartbreaking” scenes of entire families killed in Israeli attacks arriving at the hospital in pieces.
“You don’t know whose hand is this and whose leg is this – it’s kind of like a horror movie,” she told Al Jazeera, describing the hospital as a “slaughterhouse” and a “graveyard”.
“The bombing is ongoing; you feel like they are trying all type of weapons on these people.”
“It’s killing from every direction that you can ever imagine, psychologically, emotionally, physically – the type of injuries that I see the kids with, they are shredded into pieces, it’s unacceptable.”
Abu Alrun said it is incomprehensible how this situation is allowed to continue.
“You just cannot understand why anyone cannot have the courage or care enough to stop this from happening,” she added.
“We need to stop it, like every minute counts that you can save whole families from being wiped off the planet just because no one is able to tell the Israeli [government] to stop the mass killing. No one is safe here, everyone is just waiting their turn.”

An Australian anaesthesiologist working at Gaza City’s al-Shifa Hospital has described the horrors of working amid Israel’s offensive on the territory’s largest urban centre.
Speaking to Al Jazeera from the hospital, where she had been based for less than a week, Dr Saya Aziz said the situation was “catastrophic”.
“I don’t think anyone has anything quite like it,” she said.
“You’ll hear a big huge bomb, then you’ll know within 5-10 minutes, you’re going to get a mass casualty. You’ll hear the wailing, the screams, the chaos … family members bringing in the patients.”
She described the scenes that confronted medical staff following an attack as “a bloodbath … You’ll walk into the resus area and … don’t know where to look,” she said.
“Bits of flesh everywhere, dangling bits of toes, muscle, tendons… The horror of it all.”
