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.2026

    Delivering Primary Healthcare in Gaza
    Mar 27 2026

    After two years of conflict, only half of Gaza's primary health care centres remain functional. In this episode of the Frontline Shift, health workers from UKMed — an Emergency Medical Team working in coordination with WHO in Gaza since January 2024 — share what it has taken to keep primary health care going under relentless pressure. They discuss the immense challenges of operating with critical supply shortages, maintaining continuity of care for displaced populations, and reaching communities in areas with little to no functioning health infrastructure.


    Primary health care is the entry point into the health system. Keeping it functioning is not just about treating illness, it is about restoring trust, dignity, and the foundations of a resilient health system for the people of Gaza.
