There are now around 13,000 injured people in Gaza, according to a Dublin-born surgeon working in the region's largest medical facility.
Dr Ahmed El Mokhallalati, a senior plastic surgeon at the Al-Shifa Hospital, has been in Gaza since February.
Speaking to RTÉ's News at One, Dr El Mokhallalati said that following the explosion at the Al-Ahli Hospital yesterday, his hospital had to deal with so many casualties, that medics were forced to carry out operations on the ground.
This morning, doctors there ran out of critical machinery used to fix open bone fractures.
"Even when you move, you find people on the ground everywhere, people on the corridors."

Dr El Mokhallalti said the total number of hospital beds for the whole of Gaza was around 2,500.
"We put mattresses on the ground now," he said.
He said that as a result of the Israeli cuts to electricity and water, the hospital could run out of fuel "at any time", so "the ventilators might stop".
"We are running out of all these resources."
Dr El Mokhallalti said they had not been able to move "a single patient out of Gaza", despite there being around 4,000 patients at his hospital in need of surgery.
Described the scale of the destruction medics were witnessing, he said: "The big thing is that we see whole families wiped out.
"They just attack building five floors...six floors and then you get a hundred people dead".
"There is no safe place".
