Text from doctor in Gaza: 'we are walking in blood'

Jan 5th, 2009

Dr Mads Gilbert, a Norwegian doctor working for Medecin San Frontier in Gaza, sent this text message which was passed to us yesterday afternoon.

The grocery market has been bombed. 80 children and some pregnant women are wounded. 20 are killed.

We are walking in blood, death and amputees. Body parts are everywhere. I have never seen anything like this. The tanks are coming. PLEASE TELL THE WORLD.

We are living in the history books now.
