"We're seeing almost only trauma cases come through the door and at a scale that's quite difficult to believe. It's a bloodbath as we said before, it's carnage."
Israeli forces pounded central Gaza by land, sea, and air on Wednesday and Palestinian authorities reported dozens more deaths including 20 in one attack after Israel's military chief said the war on Hamas would grind on for months.
Reflecting Israeli resolve to wipe out Hamas despite growing international calls for a ceasefire amid a humanitarian crisis, Israel's Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi said fighting would last "many months" and there were no "magic solutions" or "shortcuts".
A Gaza health ministry statement said an Israeli air strike killed 20 Palestinians on Wednesday near the Al-Amal Hospital in Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza Strip. There was no immediate comment from the Israeli military.
