Surgeon tells Cork solidarity rally of malnourished patients dying without pain relief in Gaza 

At the 41 st Palestine solidarity march in Cork City at the weekend, the crowd heard of a little girl whose 'burns on her face were so bad that we could see her facial bones'. 

An English surgeon has described the horrors of operating on Palestinian civilians injured in the conflict in Gaza, and says that malnutrition is now the biggest problem facing its citizens.

Professor Nick Maynard, a consultant gastrointestinal surgeon at Oxford University Hospital and a regular volunteer with Medical Aid for Palestinians has worked in Gaza twice since the beginning of the current conflict last October.
