Short excerpt from a YouTube video titled "The worst disaster." Two speakers (an interviewer and an aid/medical responder) discuss the scale of civilian casualties in Gaza. The responder—who references extensive prior disaster experience ("40 mission trips, 30 years")—says the carnage in Gaza, especially among children, surpasses all previous disasters and gives graphic examples (incineration, dismemberment, large shrapnel wounds, sniper shootings).
So, of all the disaster zones you've seen, how does Gaza compare all of.
The disasters I've seen combined. Combined? 40 mission trips, 30 years, ground zero earthquakes. All of that combined doesn't equal the level of carnage that I saw against civilians in just my first week in Gaza.
And when you say civilians, is it mostly children?
Almost exclusively children. I've never seen that before. I've seen more incinerated children than I've ever seen in my entire life combined. I've seen more shredded children in just the first week.
Shredded?
Shredded?
What do you mean?
Missing body parts being crushed by buildings, the greatest majority. Or bomb explosions, the next greatest majority. We've taken shrapnel as big as my thumb out of eight year olds. And then there's sniper bullets. I have children that were shot twice.
Wait, you're saying that children in Gaza are being shot by snipers?
Definitively. I have two children that I have photographs of that were shot so perfectly in the chest I couldn't put my stethoscope over their heart more accurately and directly on the side of the head. In the same child? No toddler gets shot twice by mistake by a the world's best sniper.
