SAEDNEWS: Dr. Mark Perlmutter, an orthopedic surgeon from North Carolina, who had volunteered in Gaza from the end of April through the first half of May, says he had had Palestinian children in hospital who were directly shot in their chest or head.
SAEDNEWS: Speaking exclusively to CBS News, he said that "I have two children that I have photographs of that were shot so perfectly in the chest, I couldn't put my stethoscope over their heart more accurately, and directly on the side of the head, in the same child. No toddler gets shot twice by mistake by the 'world's best sniper'. And they're dead-center shots."
"All of the disasters I've seen, combined – 40 mission trips, 30 years, Ground Zero, earthquakes, all of that combined – doesn't equal the level of carnage that I saw against civilians in just my first week in Gaza."
And the civilian casualties, he said, are almost exclusively children. "I've never seen that before," he added.
"I've seen more incinerated children than I've ever seen in my entire life, combined. I've seen more shredded children in just the first week … missing body parts, being crushed by buildings, the greatest majority, or bomb explosions, the next greatest majority. We've taken shrapnel as big as my thumb out of eight-year-olds. And then there's sniper bullets. I have children that were shot twice."
