Rafah, May 28 (RHC)-- Javed Ali, the director of emergency response in Gaza for International Medical Corps, described the horrific scenes as the dying and wounded were brought for treatment following the Israeli attack on a tent camp for civilians sheltering in Rafah that killed at least 50 people.

“With this loud air strike that we heard, we just rushed to the hospital and in about five minutes or so after arrival we started seeing ambulances coming in.  I think in total we had about 75 patients.  Out of those 75, 25 were really critical,” Ali said in a video interview.

“I saw the dead body of a father who was basically holding his child perhaps around three years of age. They were burned and charred.  We couldn’t separate them.  So we had to put both of them together in a body bag,” he said.

“That was very, very hard,” Javed Ali said, trying to hold back the tears.
