On the record
"We just had a child. We had to amputate both legs and the arms and the only crime they have done is been civilians, Palestinians living in Gaza. The relief now is not more doctors and more drugs the relief now is to stop the bombing immediately. This can not go on. It is a disaster"
Mads Gilbert
The Norwegian doctor who is working at a hospital in Gaza, was talking to Sky News.
