Doctor describes victims of Israeli attacks in Gaza

In an escalation of the ground offensive in the south of Gaza, Israeli forces terrorised the population of Khozaa, a small rural community east of Khan Younis. Dr. Ahmed Almi, a member of the delegation of Egyptian doctors who finally gained entry to the strip to support Gazan hospitals during the crisis, outlined some of the most serious cases resulting from this attack. Four people died in the hospital after doctors battled to save them. He commented that some of the injuries were so horrific they must have been inflicted by abnormal munitions. He gave the example of a man who had been shot and sustained a small entry wound but massive exit wound, 40-50 cm wide. 13 people were killed overall during this incursion according to medical sources.
