Dr Mark Perlmutter has been working in two Gaza hospitals for the past three weeks .

He says that doctors have had to work in operating rooms without soap, antibiotics or x-ray facilities.

A 15-year-old girl who was hit by Israeli machine gun fire while riding her bicycle was one of the many wounded children he had to operate on.

Israeli government has said renewed attacks are aimed at forcing Hamas to release all the remaining hostages.

Dr Perlmutter says lack of supplies means more Palestinians will die from wounds that could have been treated.

The UN 's humanitarian chief describes the situation in Gaza as dire.

Israeli government closed border crossings with Gaza and halted humanitarian aid on 2 March .

The International Criminal Court last year issued arrest warrants for Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu and former defence minister Yoav Gallant .
