Kiwi surgeon in Southern Gaza, Dr Sandy Inglis has helped establish a new field hospital in Southern Gaza, under the banner of the ICRC - the International Committee of the Red Cross.

The southern city of Rafah has been a refuge for over a million Gazans forced to flee from fighting in the North.

Aside from the field hospital, just one working hospital - a maternity unit - remains functional in Rafah.  The healthcare worker death toll has reached 500.

Inglis is a Senior Medical Officer in the ICRC war surgery team.
