Palestinian doctor Maryam Youssef grew up in Gaza, trained as a doctor in Gaza, and when Israel's genocide began, she sought refuge in the very hospital where she was learning to save lives.

In this episode of The Gaza Podcast, she tells host Hussam Tannera what medical training looks like under siege, occupation, and war, and describes the surprise of Western doctors who arrived in Gaza carrying misconceptions about what they would find, and the people they would meet.

The Gaza Podcast is Middle East Eye's Gaza-based weekly podcast, and the first English-language podcast from Gaza.
