Piers Morgan Uncensored is joined by NHS surgeon Dr Junaid Sultan. After working in Britain for over 20 years, Dr Sultan made the agonising decision to help the sick and wounded in Gaza; despite being inundated with messages telling him not to go.

He describes the situation in Palestine as ‘absolutely heartbreaking’ and ‘total carnage’, speaking about a breakdown of basic food and medical supplies to Piers Morgan.

He challenges US President Joe Biden, UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and even Piers himself to come and see what is happening at his hospital in Rafah, claiming the conflict between Israel and Hamas is the worst for health workers since the Second World War.

A private group of veterans rescues thousands of civilians from war zones around the world including Gaza, Israel, Ukraine and Russia. Get the facts first on Morning Wire.

Warning: This episode contains descriptions of injuries and death.

As Israel’s war on Hamas enters its sixth week, hospitals in Gaza have found themselves on the front lines. Hospitals have become a refuge for the growing number of civilians fleeing the violence, but one that has become increasingly dangerous as Israel’s military targets what it says are Hamas fighters hiding inside and beneath them.

Today, three doctors working in the Gaza Strip describe what the war looks like from inside their hospitals and what they are doing to keep up with the flood of patients.

Guests: Dr. Ghassan Abu-Sittah, Dr. Suhaib Alhamss and Dr. Ebraheem Matar, three doctors working in the Gaza Strip.

Background reading: 

• Gazans under bombardment have described a surge of severely injured children entering hospitals, doctors operating without anesthesia and morgues overflowing with bodies.
• Israeli officials say that Hamas has built a complex under Al Shifa, a major Gaza hospital. Hamas denies that it is operating from beneath the hospital, whose patients face dire conditions amid power cuts.

During a 34-hour communications blackout that began on Friday evening, Israel launched its ground invasion into Gaza. With thousands of Palestinians killed and conditions in the territory deteriorating, the UN secretary general has repeated his call for a ceasefire to allow humanitarian access. Israel has rejected this saying “calls for a ceasefire are calls for Israel to surrender to Hamas” and that it is committed to getting all its hostages back home. So, now that the IDF's troops have entered the densely populated strip -- what is the plan?

Authoritarian regimes in both Syria and Turkey make a devastating situation even more complicated. How do we get aid in to help quake victims when the humanitarian corridors are limited and social media communication is censored?

In Turkey many want to know where the 30 billion pounds of funding that was meant to make buildings earthquake-proof has gone.

Meanwhile, Russia is on the move - coming to Syria's rescue. What's the agenda there? We asked former Foreign Secretary and International Rescue Committee head David Miliband, Minister for Development Andrew Mitchell, and the Times's Hannah Lucinda Smith, who has lived in the regions for years and visited the quake epicentre this week.

The DEC is launching the Turkey-Syria Earthquake to deliver vital aid in the aftermath of earthquakes that hit Turkey and Syria and raise funds to help its 15 charities to scale up their work to reach more of the millions of people affected. People need help now. Please donate at dec.org.uk.
