Dozens killed, thousands injured. The deadliest day in Gaza in years. We witness it, riding alongside this team of volunteer paramedics. For weeks Palestinians have organized protests here, at times threatening to breach the border fence that has sustained the blockade of this strip. Israeli soldiers have responded with tear gas and sniper fire. On quieter days ambulances would wait for a call to come in, directing them to the injured. But today, it seems like everywhere they go there’s someone to be picked up, a constant stream of stretchers. As we drive away from the front line, the commotion begins to settle. The ride back and forth starts to feel like a drill, without panic or surprise. Some of the wounded are taken to a field clinic for immediate treatment. Other victims are taken to Gaza City’s main hospital. This isn’t the same hospital we saw just a few days ago. Outside the main building a new tent serves as a makeshift emergency room. Doctors here say they were expecting to see more injuries. But still there aren’t enough beds. Most of the injuries are below the knee. Israeli soldiers have orders to aim at ankles, and many of the people we see here will leave on crutches, some with permanent disabilities. Back at the protest camp the paramedics keep their distance from the front line. But, even then it isn’t safe.
