Surgeon in Beirut describes ‘absolute massacre’ after Israeli strikes A British-Palestinian surgeon working in Beirut has described the aftermath of Israeli strikes as an “absolute massacre,” as hospitals struggle to cope with a surge of casualties. At least 182 people have been killed in Lebanon after Israel launched what it described as its largest wave of air strikes in the conflict, hitting more than 100 targets in just 10 minutes on Wednesday (8 April). Speaking to The Independent, Ghassan Abu Sittah said patients began arriving almost simultaneously, “And so the emergency departments have been flooded across the whole of Beirut,” he said. The surgeon described the situation as “horrendous”. “A lot of people brought in are dead, a lot of children with severe injuries,” he said. https://www.independent.co.uk/tv/news/iran-us-war-israel-lebanon-strikes-video-b2954338.html
