Doctors who visited Gaza speak of 'atrocities,' collapsing healthcare

The healthcare system in Gaza has essentially collapsed, Western doctors who visited the Palestinian enclave in recent months told an event at the United Nations on Monday, speaking of "appalling atrocities" from Israel's offensive.

The four doctors from the United States, United Kingdom and France have been working with teams in Gaza to support its healthcare system, which has been reeling since Israel began its military assault there last October.

The doctors also warned of a large death toll if Israel proceeds with its plan to invade the southern Gazan city of Rafah.
