Liverpool doctors travel to Gaza
This is the second of our reports from the Gaza Strip, where surgeons from the Royal Liverpool Hospital have carried out the first ever kidney transplant. We travelled with them on their latest mission to operate on patients unable to leave Gaza for life saving treatment.
