Referring to a famous Italian epic saying about hell, he added: "It makes Dante's Inferno look like a tea party."
Mads Gilbert, of the Norwegian Aid Committee, spoke to the BBC's Newshour from Egypt, where he is waiting to enter Gaza.
He said his colleagues within the generation have painted a "terrible picture" of what is unfolding there.
“Imagine a hospital with 5,000 to 15,000 civilian refugees, overcrowded with patients needing surgical care, and then the lights go out. I think you can imagine how difficult it is," he said.
There are many people seriously injured as a result of Israeli bombing, he said, and the stress of the situation is forcing pregnant women to give birth prematurely.
More challenges lie ahead, he added, because limited access to clean water and food can cause major disease outbreaks.
Inside hospitals, key equipment such as ventilators, monitors, infusion pumps and neonatal incubators are running out of power.
He also described a video he had sent to a doctor in Gaza showing another doctor sitting outside a hospital, shocked after learning his entire family had been killed.
Dr Gilbert said medical staff were struggling to keep up with their workload as they struggled with fear and grief for their families.
