Zahra Legris is a psychiatrist who recently arrived back to Dublin after spending two months in the south of Gaza working as a mental health activity manager for MSF, a charity which brings medical support to people in conflict zones, natural disasters and epidemics. I was so grateful to her for speaking to me this week about her work and some of the people she met in Gaza, as well as the long term impact of living in the midst of true horror.
