‘A war on children’: Doctor tells of harrowing experience in Gaza | Victoria Rose
“I don’t believe this is about Israel’s security.”
What’s it like to be a medic inside Gaza’s shattered healthcare system?
British plastic surgeon Dr Victoria Rose joins us on Real Talk to share her first-hand account of the harrowing scenes she witnessed in Gaza.
She opens up about why she believes Israel is “definitely” targeting medics, how this has become a “war on children”, and her experience operating on Palestinian patients at Gaza’s hospitals.
Rose worked in Gaza twice in 2024 - at the European Gaza Hospital in March and the Nasser Hospital in August - and spoke with us ahead of her planned return to the besieged enclave in February 2025.
