All healthcare professionals working in Gaza witnessed Israeli "genocidal intent," said a French emergency room doctor.

Pascal Andre, who returned to his country after working in Gaza, told Anadolu that he worked at the European Hospital in Khan Younis between Feb. 8-22.

"As healthcare professionals, we witnessed genocidal intent," said Andre, adding that they had faced difficulty reaching the European Hospital and waited four months.

Andre said two of his French colleagues, who went to the field and worked as doctors in war zones, said they had never witnessed such wounds before.

"(My colleagues) have never seen a war zone where civilians are targeted so much, where there is no escape,” he said.

He applauded the Gazan health personnel for continuing to work despite the fear of what will happen to their families during the bombardments.

"There are people there definitely with incredible courage. They are all civilians," he said.

Underlining that the Israeli army targets mosques, universities, schools, healthcare personnel, holy and historical places, Andre said the "idea of destruction" lies behind this.
