Inside Gaza's health system: British doctor tell of harrowing experience amid Israeli bombardment | Victoria Rose | Real Talk

“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.
