British doctor, Graeme Groom, meets 9-year-old Weam in Gaza's Shifa Hospital
Dr Graeme Groom, a consultant orthopaedic surgeon from Kings College Hospital in London talks to 9-year-old Weam Al Astal and her parents in Gaza's Shifa Hospital.
Weam suffered major injuries to her legs after being caught in an explosion during the conflict in Gaza in the summer of 2014.
UK aid from the Department for International Development has funded teams of NHS doctors to deploy to Gaza through in conjunction with British charities Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP) and IDEALS, to provide post-conflict surgery to some of the people who were most severely injured in the conflict last year. The doctors volunteer in their spare time to visit Gaza each month to work alongside their Palestinian colleagues.
