“In half of the injured we received… the bone has literally been turned into dust.”

Thierry Saucier is an orthopedic surgeon for MSF in Gaza. He explains the complexity of caring for the hundreds of people injured during the March of Return protests in recent weeks. Very serious injuries pose significant challenges for the surgeons, and will require months or even years of care. Voices from the Field - 10 May 2018
