She told the conference how people are now sleeping on football pitches near her family’s home, but added: “They still are dropping bombs on them.Her brother, an emergency doctor in Gaza, has “started to say he can no longer treat anyone because there are no supplies and the dead are arriving in mere body parts”, Ms El-Nakla said.
