INTERVIEW: What an Aussie doctor working in Gaza is seeing right now

Rationing disinfectant, sharing medical gloves, sleeping in tents and working all the way through the night: doctors in Gaza say they're living through hell.

After a video on TikTok of an Aussie doctor went viral, we asked if she could speak with us on a rare shift break.

Dr Nada Abu Alrub is from Queensland, but right now she's at al Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, which is currently the target of an Israeli ground invasion.

In this extended interview, Dr Nada describes the immense pressure medical staff are under, and the harrowing conditions in which they're trying to provide care.
