On the Line: Nasser Hospital Under Siege, Featuring Dorotea Gucciardo
Hosted by: Samira Mohyeddom
In this urgent episode of On the Line, host Samira Mohyeddom speaks with Dorotea Gucciardo of Glia about the unfolding crisis at Nasser Medical Complex in Gaza. With Israeli tanks just 150–200 meters from the hospital, confusion reigns over conflicting evacuation orders and what they mean for patients, healthcare workers, and the future of medical care in the region.
Guchardo shares firsthand updates from Glia delegates currently inside the hospital and paints a harrowing picture of how Gaza’s largest remaining health facility is being systematically isolated. She also describes the growing challenges of getting medical teams into Gaza since the closure of the Rafah crossing, and the psychological toll on doctors forced to act as both clinicians and eyewitnesses to war crimes.
This conversation offers an unfiltered look into the collapsing healthcare infrastructure in Gaza and the international inaction that allows it to continue. A vital listen for anyone following medical solidarity efforts on the ground.
