Dr Mo: The Beast from the Middle East

from Background Briefing · host Australian Broadcasting Corporation

An Australian doctor sells his car and writes a will — unsure if he’ll ever make it back home. He crosses the concrete walls that surround the Gaza Strip and begins work inside the last functioning hospital in the north. But in the chaos of war, something unfolded that no one, including him, could have predicted. This week, reporter Marty Smiley brings us the story of Dr Mo's impossible mission.
