Paramedic tells of 'heartbreaking' moment he put children into body bags in Gaza

Sam Sears described his experience in Gaza as a "conveyor belt of carnage", highlighting the relentless influx of patients suffering from blast, shrapnel, and gunshot wounds. Upon arrival, he encountered a mass casualty incident involving two deceased children, ages nine and eleven. Reflecting on the heartbreaking moment of putting these children in body bags, he noted that the rapid pace of emergency situations often stripped away the dignity these young victims would normally be afforded. The sheer volume of casualties necessitated a focus on saving those who could still be helped.
