BBC World Service - Newshour, Hospitals in southern Gaza 'overwhelmed'

Surgeon says "it is physically and mentally exhausting"

As Israel mounts a ground offensive against Hamas in southern Gaza, a surgeon at a hospital in Khan Younis says it has more than 360 people on the operating list, which is "impossible to deal with", and supplies of anaesthetics and painkillers are running out.

Also in the programme: a Ugandan climate activist tells us that she is sceptical about change at the COP28 summit in Dubai; and voters in Venezuela have overwhelmingly approved its claim to territory in neighbouring Guyana, although the turnout in the referendum was low.
