HARDtalk’s Stephen Sackur speaks to Dr Yasser Abu Jamei, director
of Gaza’s biggest mental health program. The past few days have

into Israel; the Israelis responded with air strikes aimed at the
Islamic Jihad group. Hardly unusual and certainly not the stuff
of international headlines but that in itself is telling. In Gaza
conflict is the norm, so too an economic blockade that has long
choked the economy. What happens to a people living with trauma
and collective despair?
