Description

Relentless bombardments on hospitals, a blockade on humanitarian aid and more than 100,000 casualties from Israel's assaults have plunged Gaza's health system into a desperate crisis.



On this episode we hear from Dr. Hanan Balkkhy, the World Health Organisation’s Regional Director for the Eastern Mediterranean Region.



Is the situation in Gaza hopeless? Can a famine be averted, or is the WHO bracing for the worst? Plus, what are the ramifications if the conflict spills over into Lebanon? Are other crises, like those in Sudan, Yemen, or Syria, at risk of being overshadowed by the war in Gaza?
