as he describes 'seeing things I can never unsee' - before his cameraman also breaks down in tears This is the moment a BBC journalist broke down in tears while reporting from inside a hospital in war-torn Gaza as he described having 'seen things I can never unsee'.
BBC Arabic reporter Adnan El-Bursh fell to his knees and removed his glasses before wiping his face as he was overcome by emotion at the Al Shifa Hospital yesterday.
Mr El-Bursh and his team - including cameraman Mahmoud al-Ajrami, who was also left in tears - had discovered that their friends, relatives and neighbours were among those injured or killed in the hospital and he described how 'bodies lay everywhere'.
Hundreds of seriously injured people were filling the hallways of the strip's largest medical facility amid traumatic scenes, with bodies lying in corridors and outside.
Speaking to the camera, Mr El-Bursh, who is a father, said: 'This is my local hospital, inside are my friends, my neighbours. This is my community. Today has been one of the most difficult days in my career. I have seen things that I can never unsee.'
