00:00But when you were talking to us earlier on, telling us about the sight of dogs eating deceased human beings,
00:07I mean, that's horrific, even as an image to conjure up in one's mind.
00:12I mean, is there an anecdote or an encounter that stands out amongst the probably very many
00:19as being perhaps the most haunting? And if so, what is it?
00:23So many haunting memories from conversations because I overnighted there.
00:28I spent a lot of time talking to civilians about their experiences.
00:33You know, it's so shocking when you meet someone who has walked four days to try to get water for their family.
00:40And the old man just held up this small jerry can of water and just said, this is all I have right now.
00:45I've lost everything. You know, I met the grandmother whose son had bled out on the street in front of her
00:52and medics who'd come to help him had been taken out by by snipers as she sat there watching him lying there in the street in his own blood.
01:03I visited Al-Alda hospital, you know, one of the few hospitals still basically functioning.
01:08And on the wall, a doctor who was later killed has written, tell them we did what we could.
01:14And in a way, that's been our motto, certainly my motto since leaving Gaza, that I want to know that every day we are doing all we can for those civilians.
01:24This may be beyond imagination, the situation, the crisis that they're facing, but we cannot let it be beyond our levels of compassion.
01:32We have got to keep finding ways, keep finding the arguments, keep working and working and working to get the aid through that we know that can save so many lives.
