Best of: The Australian doctors offering free surgery
Description
Headlines: Chaos in New Orleans as a truck strikes New Year’s revellers leaving 10 dead, three Virgin Australia staff stuck in their hotel after an incident at Nadi airport, and the LNP claims 10,000 businesses will collapse before the next parliamentary sitting.
Best of Deep Dive: A network of volunteer doctors in Australia are stepping up to provide free medical care for Palestinians who have fled Gaza.
From performing surgeries on patients with amputated limbs to treating chronic illness, they are filling the gaps where our government has fallen short, largely due to the visas provided for those fleeing not allowing access to healthcare.
One of these doctors is Dr Mohamed Amr. He co-founded the Palestinian Australian New Zealand Medical Association (PANZMA).
As part of The Briefing’s Best of Summer Series, we revisit Antoinette Lattouf’s exclusive conversation with Dr Amr from November last year.
