and its failure to help in more than a decade of attacks by groups. the volumes has continued to destabilize governments and approved people from their homes in the region. but somebody leave ivory coast asking french forces to leave, could be strategic with the elections due in october and then different sentiments on the rise. yeah, that presence on i've ordered soil may lead to disruptions or even chaos. how many degrees i use either be john another use few and she frontier and gutierrez has want he's capital pulse of prince could be over run by criminal gangs if age the kind of be a nation is an increased canyon lead force funded primarily by the us to station to the hazy gutierrez says it needs more money. equipment on personnel, hazy suffering for a surgeon gun violence with more than 5000 people killed across the country. in 2024. south korea's anti corruption agency is recommended that impeach, present use of deals, criminal case to be transferred to the prosecutor's office,

which has the power to proceed with an indictment. the constitutional court is now holding is full of hearing on news impeachment arrive that just a few minutes ago. the anti corruption office is requesting he be charged with orchestrating and insurrection, abusing his also i see and obstructing others from emphasizing that right. the challenges with the children seem to be specifically hit by quote, comp to is which drones that have fire power capability and lots of them with sort of shots in the back in head and the upper tools. so these are in the intentional targeting of children and the court cup to so that follows that say that authorize it. so moving you are

a british and they just stopped her. but you have no family ties to gaza. you didn't grow up so you don't really have any direct connection. what was it that made you pack your bags and go out there the assessment to gaza in 2019 i think, or because the 18 and i was shamed into going by my colleagues. i worked at kings college major tumor center and 2 of my colleagues was very influential in a charity code. i do say what size orthopedic surgeons and ideals as a child. i see that office that is an aide and support of international disasters. and both ends and they had picked a garza in 2009 and had done some tumor courses that initially i didn't get involved as time went on,

i could see what they were doing and i went and i to to missions. and as soon as i go that i realize that the problem, the road and he said, i don't know what to do. i think i'm gonna have to take what do you think i should to? and at that point, i so said, i think we need to go and help him and, and it was, she is just absorbing and already kept thinking is right. i've got to do this and then we're going to do that. and then this child needs come back to that and it just kept going and kept going. and you just didn't really stop. and you said victoria is a close to 90 percent of those you operated on and gaza with children. unicef has cooled. guys are the world's most dangerous place to be a child from what you. so why would you assess say that? so i think that as time went on, we saw a more and more children. and certainly when i went back in august,

we were at nasa for a month and i operated again every day. and most of my lists were just children in what was, what was the funds was it's, it's substitution. it's in the explosion when a boss goes off everything around you guys weaponized, well the masonry and fits of costs of the width, tops and energy, and then they hit a civilian at quite a high velocity and that will penetrate skin, and it will live that break the bone on denise or it will penetrate the chest to the optimum, and that was the bulk of what we was seeing. but we also saw a loss of buttons because as the he said, the last note the quick is to get up. and so that was, i think, why we saw so many injuries in the age group and the, the trauma that these children must face it's, it's been said of cause of a,

there's no post traumatic stress disorder because there's no post. did you experience this? were you able to, to spend time in some cases with these children, but definitely with children that have huge psychological issues. we had a, a 7 year old cold muhammad, who had been in the last injury that had for the house down that he was in. and he was with his father and in the bloss his father had died and his mother spoke beautiful english. and she said to me, he just won't speak to me. he was look at you. he doesn't want to engage with any of the dog says he just wants to see his father. it was quite a difficult problem because i was watching him not to recover from an injury that he should recover from in that we had. we had advertises back and we closed it and we grafted it and we had closed the wounds on his other legs, but he just,

the williams just didn't he'll. he wasn't a thing. he kept getting infections. he just wasn't progressing. i'm not totally as jews that his mental state and we know of course now the gaza has the largest cohort of turned entities in the world. it you said that the doctor has been garza, i'm a journalist now. i mean the killing the journalist on so it's doctors like yourself telling us what's happened. but of course we know that over a 1000 health care workers have also been killed by israel. doctors, paramedics health, co workers have also been abducted detained, tortured with the doctors. and you just, what do you, what do i say to him when he comes back to look it's, you know, it's, but then everybody that you speak to has lost a sibling. i'm of a 5,

i mean obviously the ones that have lost children, if you feel more full because you don't expect to lose your children, but i, i didn't think i met anyone that was on skies by, by this. and in the time that you were there in these hospitals, for the, with a quiet moments was the light moments between the doctors. yes. yeah. that, well, i mean i think medicine is, is not that you have to sort of make the best of, of, of what you have and reset. and you had a lot of interesting sort of scrapped paint challenge moments when we ran out of stuff that we had to improvise for. and obviously your role in the same situation together. and they are so grateful that you've come to help them, that there is this sort of as you know, the lovely bond between you, so it is a lot of camaraderie. you said that you went twice and, and the 1st time you'll be on monday was to bring as many supplies and yeah, the 2nd time you went back to god. so did you have a different experience?

well the 1st time we went and we traveled voc highway through this tonight as a and cost at rafa. and we were in the u. n. convoy and there was no restriction really on what you could take it. you could take whatever you can get into your many of us. so we managed to take 25 suitcases with us in the march for the medical equipment. and obviously we had colleagues inside who told us what they was show told. so it was, it was almost, you know, a perfect scenario for us and that we turned out with everything that they needed and extra homes and equipment. could you take? well, i packs a very small, okay. i, i think from the march to if i need a surgery, i needed to, i had a friend who had less no. so who told me that, you know what kit they didn't have my fittest district thomas's putting me a very small, excessive instruments. and i went in with

a few disposable bits and pieces and, and yeah we, we got by i'm, we're going to turn to the audience on a 2nd, but i just want to ask, would you go back? yes. i i think when you guys and you know that you're making a difference, it's very hard. no, it's go back. i'm the only thing that stops me going back is my family said she might have a hall, philip, i know how difficult it is to send it. when i go. i'm not the only reason the i'm i'm ever rest as in about going back is i need to make sure that he's comfortable. if i can sort of get him around we, we are looking at going back in february. and if you've got a question for victoria, please put your hand up. we've got one over there. i am constantly shocked about how people in the you can just the west in general, know, unanimously outraged about what's going on. i'll have to stay the lady in the back

. do you think? does a real disconnect between what's happening on the ground and what we're seeing here? and how does that make you feel if you do you think that exists in, in the media and then the general? yeah. i think think that's a real disconnect. i don't think that we're saying is exactly what's going on over the i think a loss is a lot of the younger generation think that it's fine that you're getting the feed that you need from the palestinians who are pushing it on and instagram and take talk but those platforms are not designed to deliver news that designs to keep you on the to so products and assets to your feed may contain some filters from palestinians. but that's not the majority of phase. lots of other people are still getting means is kittens and puppies. so you cons, consider that to be a,

a news outlet for the masses. and that's what i've noticed is the same people that are approaching made sense to talk to university students to, you know, to, to, to, as well. and as a and this trudge, that is, this is an interested in what's happening and it's those people that i think we need to engage. because i think if they could see what was going on, they would change their opinions of the situation for go to question. over here i work for which i which, and we provide strong counseling and child protection services, and garza most changed more recently for us is all teams now say that they see signs of acute and complex trauma on every child's that they see that they meet sending cancer, the coupon certain communities never had to respond to a cute from a population level before. so what do you feel would be needed from the international community to respond to alongside mental health impacts counseling way. okay, so i have to look very hard at mental health support. i don't know how many of the

n g a is prioritize mental health in the medical teams now. but it's, it's going to be needed. once we can get back in, is it even manageable to do that at a, at a population level? i think it is manageable. catherine who was with us, who was from no way, was seeing every child that we operated on. and she had a team of local palestinian. so like a therapist for you, you need to remember as everybody thinks that goes, that was the sort of, you know, whole of a place where it was all full of refugees that, that he spoke english. it's in the hearts and it's never been like that that's usually well educated or for women have professions as lots of physiotherapists that with palestinian roosevelt patients, therapist most of psychotherapists, and they had to come back to work. i'm well working. so they have a huge number of the own teams that will continue. and they, you know,

they even restore to training the medical students. so when we went to notch, the medical students, it always have been the medical schools have been destroyed and fast way up. but in september they reopened, and they that continued to do the medical school exams. and 3 of all students is assessing the final exams now. so now we've got a question over here. so off to the missions garza, how did it affect your life? often when you came back to the u. k, a lot of people said did i sofa said i possibly wouldn't have to say another. the 7 year old and gone and that's really hard to, to rationalize. i can't take one more question if someone's going to be very precise. yeah, i, so i'm lucy, i'm from the u. k. i'm a jonathan student now and i used to work for a publishing and children's tara

t that walked in garza. so over the last year, obviously hospitals, normally i meant to be a place of safety when people go to be safe. and over the last year obviously we've seen in the office. it means this is the hospitals have been targeted. how concerned with you, of the sphere while you're that are we just so busy and consolidating with cases that you one wasn't even your annual annual mind at the time this i think in the march it was, it wasn't and it wasn't really in my mind when we, when we got to the rafa crossing, we had a to any d conflicted with the idea and then i was at the hospital and i, i don't think i really thought too much about my safety in august we've partnered with m ss and they take security very seriously, they had had 2 of the vehicles targets it and that never made the news because the

people that were killed for palestinian medics. so they had had this thing is bad and they were really conscientious. and every night we had to do a secure seabreeze thing with where we would go through a math of the tablets for a while. uh, escape route. would they need use of them that i go through the volume of work that i got through? i became very fondest and, and when i knew i was getting back in august on i agreed chat. i said, you know, this is what i'm going to say. and we decided that we would, i would take some time off on a sunday and have breakfast together. and on the saturday morning abdul rahman died. his house got phones and a single fire attack. and he was killed with his aunts and his cousin. and he was 21 and he was a 3rd and medical student the following day of seeing the day and nobody turned up

. everybody was really depressed and it was very difficult. but then on the monday they came and we saw in the gods, and we use of talks about, you know, what was happening with medical schools and you know, what, how abdomens parents, why and, and then of the romans. sister comes out to me and i she said to me and are you ready and spot him? and i thank you very much. thanks again. thank you so much, victoria for every damage is not something that was done by mistake. we frame on out is the era the charging town of audrey is dry font and unforgiving it both done by the army in the time many terry rapids support forces having fighting for more than a yeah. had deja abraham has just arrived at this. come for refugees,

the other pull down, there was a complex that so we have no choice but to come to chat, joined by hundreds of thousands out is all escaping a wall. that is not that making this concourse supposed to be temporary. now there are more than 200000 to then use. if you do use the government is relocating then another couple about a 100 kilometers from here that you don't come. you know, conflict in our full region has lasted for 20 years, and the current situation is done, positively ignited those connections. how do you bring safe keeping high children i life was the hardest part of their journey. a passion for supporting local communities and pioneering in novel to african science and technology projects. houses. how beautiful, how glorious.
