8:20Now PlayingSurgeon Dr Ghassan Abu-Sittah tells Sky's Alex Crawford about the "catastrophic" injuries he has been treating at a hospital in Beirut after pagers and walkie-talkies exploded across Lebanon.
The "catastrophic thing", he said, is "almost all of the victims will end up with some permanent disability".
The number of people killed in the device explosions on Wednesday has now risen to 25, Lebanon's health minister says.
Dr Abu-Sittah, who worked in Gaza during the early part of the conflict between Israel and Hamas, was also asked about accusations that by carrying out his work he was siding with groups proscribed as terrorist organisations in the UK and US.
