**Gaza City, Palestine** – A British senior plastic and reconstructive surgeon, Victoria Rose, has painted a grim picture of the healthcare crisis in Gaza following the recent conflict. In a new Al Jazeera interview for their “Reframe” series, Dr. Rose detailed her experiences during two medical missions to Gaza since October 7th.
Dr. Rose reported working almost non-stop, with children accounting for approximately 90% of her patients. She described witnessing horrific injuries and the profound psychological impact the war has had on the young population. The surgeon highlighted the devastating shortage of food, specialist doctors, and medical supplies, further exacerbated by significant obstacles faced by international aid organizations trying to access the region. The interview underscores the catastrophic effect of the ongoing conflict on Gaza’s already fragile healthcare system.
