## Resource

Adam talks with the UK executive director of aid agency MSF, Natalie Roberts about working in conflict zones in Yemen and Syria, the fraught conversations that led to MSF calling Israel's actions in Gaza a 'genocide', why the humanitarian emergency in Sudan gets so much less attention than it should and her experiences providing medical assistance at Glastonbury for over-emotional Lana Del Ray fans and pregnant women determined to give birth at the mother of all festivals.
