Podcast Ep 38: The coming COVID-19 explosion in Gaza

On episode 38, Nora speaks with Dr. Tarek Loubani about the immediate devastation to Gaza’s medical and public health infrastructure during and after the recent Israeli attacks. This comes on top of the slow collapse of the medical system due to Israel’s draconian 14-year-old siege. Loubani works alongside doctors at al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City, the Strip’s main trauma center. “All the reports I was getting were saying things I wasn’t used to hearing, from people who I know don’t tend to exaggerate,” Loubani says.
