The Gaza Strip is one of the most violent and densely populated areas in the world – and half its population is under 16. Dr. Eyad Sarraj is a psychiatrist and human rights activist who works with the children of Gaza.
For years now, he has dealt with the scarring impact that constant fighting with Israel has had on kids. But the recent fighting between Hamas and Fatah has been much harder for him to explain, both to children, and at times to himself.
Dr. Sarraj talks with Dick Gordon about what it was like to live through the recent violence and how hard it is to maintain a professional distance when he hears stories from traumatized children.

Last week the Israeli Army entered the Gaza strip and killed 13 Palestinians, including a 12 year old boy. It was the bloodiest fighting that Gaza has seen since its takeover by the Hamas party two weeks ago. While Hamas fighters were among the dead, the organization has reduced its attacks on Israel since the end of major fighting with the rival Fatah party. Tension between Hamas and Fateh resulted in an all-out civil war between the two groups in late 2006 and 2007. Hamas now has complete control of the Gaza strip while Fatah remains in charge of the West Bank. The context of this in-fighting is of course the on-going Israeli occupation.
Uprising Radio spoke recently with Dr. Mona El Farra, a physician who works and lives in Gaza. Dr. El Farra is currently in the United States at the US Social Forum and joined us for an interview.
