Coronavirus conversations: Gaza

Rising cases threaten to overwhelm the Palestinian territory's healthcare system

Rising numbers of coronavirus cases threaten to overwhelm the healthcare system in the Palestinian territory of Gaza. We'll speak to people who live there about their experience of the pandemic, as well as getting context from a ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ journalist.

As we continue to catch up with front line medics treating coronavirus patients around the world, we speak to a doctor in New York who, when we spoke to her at the height of the pandemic, compared her experience to working as a war medic in Mosul, Iraq.

And we’ll explain the situation of the thousands of Ethiopians who have crossed the border into Sudan to escape conflict in Tigray. They’re fleeing a region where the UN now says emergency relief supplies are running out.
