BBC London previously interviewed Prof Ghassan Abu-Sittah, from Médecins Sans Frontières, who has been helping to treat people wounded in the war, at the Al Ahli Arab Hospital.
As the interview concluded, on 17 October, the hospital was hit by a missile.
Now back in London, he has spoken of the moment the hospital was struck.
He told BBC London: "There was lots of dust, people were screaming and rushing past me. That's when I called your colleague back, not just to tell him - but I needed my family to know - I was alive.
"It was just carnage in the emergency department; there was a man that had shrapnel in his neck. There were bodies and parts of bodies everywhere, including that of the forearm of a young child on the floor."
Prof Abu-Sittah said across Gaza there were more than 7,000 wounded children who would need reconstructive surgery.
He said that of the 36 hospitals in Gaza, only nine were currently functioning and that "unless there is a real humanitarian corridor which allows lots of medical teams to increase the capacity, patients will die from wound infections".
"My biggest worry is that those who were fortunate enough to survive the initial attack will die from untreated wounds," he added.
Asked about leaving Gaza, he said: "It's taken its toll on me physically and emotionally. I am also filled with this overwhelming sense of guilt towards the patients that still need my help and the kind of surgeries that I'm able to provide and that they might not otherwise get as there are not any other resources.
"I feel guilt for leaving my colleagues who I have left behind who are working in these extremely difficult circumstances."
On October 17, hundreds of civilians were killed and injured by Israeli airstrikes on al-Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza City. The attack has been condemned as an act of genocide by many governments around the world.
The Palestinian resistance movement Hamas has urged the United Nations secretary-general to form an international committee to visit hospitals in the besieged strip to counter Israel’s “false” claims that they are used as launch pad for anti-Israel operations. Hamas has noted that the claims are aimed to “justify” Israel’s attacks on hospitals in Gaza.
The Zionist regime waged the war on Gaza on October 7 after Hamas conducted Operation Al-Aqsa Storm against the occupying entity in retaliation for its intensified atrocities against the Palestinian people.
Since the start of the aggression, the Tel Aviv regime has killed over 15,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and left vast swathes of the coastal enclave in ruins. An additional 7,000 Palestinians are missing and believed to be under the rubble.
The Zionist regime has also imposed a “complete siege” on the territory, cutting off fuel, electricity, food, and water to the more than two million Palestinians living there.
