A nurse who was working a night shift at Nasser Hospital's surgical department when it was targeted by an Israeli air strike has said that a number of patients they were caring for were killed in the attack.
In testimony shared by the NGO Medical Aid for Palestine (MAP), Mohammed Salman described the attack as "terrifying".
"I saw patients trapped under the rubble and colleagues injured. We lost some of the patients I had been caring for, including at least two," he said.
