The sheer number of bodies he’s had to deal with at Gaza City’s Shifa Hospital morgue has numbed Musa Hassan to the anguish.

“I’ve taken hundreds of bodies to the morgue,” said the 42-year-old Hassan, clad in a blue jumpsuit and long black rubber boots. “In the beginning, I felt sad for each body I took to the refrigerators, but after taking so many, it’s become normal. I have carried bodies shredded by missiles and tanks shells, children, women, old men and militants.”
