Adrian Goldberg hears from UK medics calling for a ceasefire in Gaza.

Israel has launched the onslaught in the territory, in retaliation for horrific attacks by Hamas in which more than 1400 people were killed. More than 200 hostages were taken.

More than 4300 people have since died in Gaza, many of them civilians, as a result of aerial strikes, which are thought to be the prelude of a ground invasion.

Humanitarian Aid has been allowed into the territory after several days of siege and the International Committee of the Red Cross is now asking for medical personal and surgical teams to be allowed in.

Adrian is joined by Dr Omar Abdel-Mannan who has made several visits to Gaza and the West Bank and Dr Deborah Harrington  a Consultant Obstetrician based in Oxford who has been travelling to Gaza since 2017.
