Gift of the Gab!: Discussing the Impact of War on Children with Dr. Nour Akhras

Gift of the Gab!: Discussing the Impact of War on Children with Dr. Nour Akhras

War is Hell, but we often only see it as a conflict of grown ups and overlook how it impacts the children caught in the middle of it.

For this segment of "Gift of the Gab" I interview Dr. Nour Akhras, a pediatrician and who has been on a number of medical missions in war-torn areas. Her experiences there and how 9/11 impacted her being Muslim in America, inspired her to write her book, "Just One: A Journey of Perseverance and Conviction".

We discuss her experiences working within the areas of conflict and what are the impacts of war and displacement on children?
