GlobeAlert Desk · curated from France 24 [en] · global

For humanitarian doctors and healthcare workers operating in active conflict zones, the challenges are seemingly endless: from so-called "double tap" strikes that put emergency workers at risk, to roadblocks, evacuation orders and even the positioning of humanitarian organisations in the political debate. Pierre Catoire, emergency doctor and vice-president of Mehad — A French NGO dedicated to healthcare in conflict zones — speaks to FRANCE 24 about how medical professionals go about their work in such conditions.
