Speaking to SBS News, Aziz said she was not prepared for the “horror” of what she has seen since arriving in the besieged territory.

“You can’t even begin to call it a hospital. It’s a place where people are left to die.”

Aziz said the most shocking case she treated was a male patient who she found “mangled”. It was her first amputation case.

“There was … mangled legs, mangled arms, and then, to my horror, the patient was alive.”

“I don’t know what weapons they’re using, but they’re shredding them to pieces.”

Alrub described performing a cesarean on a nine-month pregnant woman who had arrived at the hospital without a head.

She said it’s common to see entire family units “wiped out” after a mass casualty event. Many patients who have unsurvivable injuries are left to die.
