A nurse deployed in the Gaza Strip as part of the government's humanitarian response to the Israel-Gaza war described treating patients with "substantial" trauma.
Mandy Blackman usually works at Kettering General Hospital in Northamptonshire, but is currently the nurse-in-charge of a field hospital in al-Mawasi run by the charity UK-Med.
She said the hospital included "everyday things" such as GP services, an operating theatre and maternity care, but also dealt with emergency incidents.
"We have mass casualty incidents where we receive a number of patients in a very short space of time; not long ago we had about 34 people come in at 23:30 at night," she said.
