Since October 2023, Gaza has been sealed from the world - except for one group, international doctors.

While global media are barred from reporting and governments look away, doctors breach the blockade and what they find is not just a humanitarian crisis, but a calculated dismantling of life itself.

Their first-hand accounts and visceral footage offer a rare and vital chronicle of the daily struggles of healthcare workers as they navigate bombed-out hospitals, dwindling supplies, starvation and the overwhelming influx of casualties – predominantly women and children.

The screening on Friday the 10th July of was followed by a Q&A with director Daniele Rugo and consultant surgeon with Medical Aid for Palestinians Dr Khaled Dawas. Hosted by Ryvka Barnard, Deputy Director of the Palestine Solidarity Campaign UK.
