As Israel Widens Assault on Gaza, Children Are Bearing the Brunt
Briefly

Dr. Victoria Rose, a British plastic and reconstructive surgeon, discusses her time at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis during Israel's intensified attacks on Gaza. With reports of horrific injuries, limited medical supplies, and widespread malnutrition, healing becomes increasingly difficult, particularly for children who are suffering the most. Only 19 out of 38 hospitals remain operational under severe constraints, largely due to bombings hitting critical medical facilities and infrastructure. The dire situation worsens as Britain pauses trade talks with Israel under the current circumstances in Gaza, reflecting global concerns about the humanitarian impact of the conflict.
"Children are particularly taking the brunt of this," she says. "It's the worst it's ever been."
"We arrived about just - well, we arrived on the 13th of May, and we've been working at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis since the 15th."
"Only 19 of Gaza's 38 hospitals are still operating, albeit at severely limited capacity."
"With Israel's latest attacks, they bombed three electric power generators and fuel storage tanks at the besieged Indonesian Hospital in northern Gaza."
