Israels war on Gaza has killed at least 500 health workers since October, including several specialised doctors, AP news agency reports.
Amongst those killed were highly specialised doctors, including a plastic surgeon specialising in wound care, a reconstructive surgeon, an obstetrician/gynaecologist, an orthopaedic surgeon, a fertility doctor, and the only liver transplant doctor in Gaza.
Hassan Hamdan, a plastic surgeon who specialised in wound reconstruction, was killed along with 12 members of his family earlier this month after coming out of retirement to help during the war.
