"The odor of blood when I entered the emergency room was just overwhelming. People are lying on the floor. People are lying outside. People are lying in extensions of the emergency department in tents, bodies being brought in white plastic bags, the families standing over them and praying", says Karin Huster, MSF medical referent in Gaza. The massive Israeli strikes taking place over the last 48 hours in central Gaza have left at least 70 people dead.
