With patients being treated under makeshift shelters, doctors have been carrying out an average of 25 surgical operations daily. Now they are performing operations in an improvised operating theatre in a shipping container, where they hope to carry out another 20 procedures per day.
One anaesthetist compared the number of amputations to the Crimean War, or the American Civil War.
