Content warning: This podcast contains graphic details of violence and assault.

On this episode of No Filter, guest host Jessie Stephens speaks to Dr Mohammed Mustafa, known as Dr Mo, is a Perth-based emergency doctor, about his firsthand experiences providing emergency care in Gaza, the practical and emotional challenges of working in such extreme conditions, and the human stories behind the headlines. He also discusses the impact on children and families, and his ongoing efforts to establish a children’s hospital in Gaza.

The son of Palestinian refugees, Dr Mo has travelled to Gaza twice in the past two years to volunteer as an emergency doctor, working alongside local medical teams in hospitals under extreme conditions. Through video and social media, he has drawn global attention to the experiences of patients and medical staff working under intense pressure.
