UN aid workers and NGO doctors suffering from psychological trauma as they collect bodies in Gaza streets

 Aljazeera television broadcasted shocking images of men and women dead in the streets of Gaza, with UN aid workers neither having the means nor personnel to help collect the bodies let alone treat the relatives of the dead. Aid workers, helpless, end up suffering traumatic experiences themselves.

After her return from a mission in the Gaza Strip, Louise Pichet, head of the Middle East Department at Doctors of the World, confirmed that the workers with the non-governmental organizations there - who number about 20 - have “suffered from psychological trauma” after more than 5 months of war.
