UK doctor’s video diary shows reality inside Gaza hospital


A British surgeon who recently returned from Gaza has told the BBC how she was struck by the high number of wounded children she operated on.

Dr Victoria Rose said a “huge amount” of her work was on children under 16, including many under six.

Over 76,000 Gazans – mainly civilians – have been injured by Israel over the course of the war, the Hamas-run health ministry says, while 33,000 people have been killed.

The war was sparked by Hamas attacking Israeli communities near Gaza last October, killing about 1,200 people, mainly civilians, and taking about 250 hostages to Gaza.
