Gaza doctor makes plea to stop civilian deaths

BBC World Service - Weekend, Gaza doctor makes plea to stop civilian deaths

Gaza doctor: ‘Why are they killing us? How many of us have to die?’

As the death toll exceeds 30,000 in Gaza, a doctor in Rafah describes the situation as catastrophic and makes a plea to stop the war.

Also on the programme: We look at the protest movement to the war in Israel and the US; and how the lack of reliable snowfall might spell doom for a nation’s favourite pastime.

Joining Paul Henley to discuss all this and more are H.A. Hellyer, senior associate fellow in international security studies at the Royal United Services Institute, and Australian author and journalist Latika Bourke.
