Description

The Frontline Shift is a podcast by the World Health Organization in the occupied Palestinian territory (oPt) that examines one of the most complex emergency health responses in the world: Gaza. Through firsthand accounts from emergency medical teams (EMTs), coordinated and deployed by WHO, the short series revisits key moments from the two-year conflict between October 2023 and October 2025. Each episode explores how health workers delivered care amid access constrains, power outages, severe shortages of medical supplies, and hostilities, while working to maintain essential services. Focused on operational realities and lessons learned, The Frontline Shift offers insight into what it takes to sustain a health system under extreme pressure. The podcast is intended for medical and humanitarian professionals, as well as listeners seeking a deeper understanding of health response challenges on the ground in Gaza.
