More than 29,000 have been killed in Gaza in the Israel-Hamas war. An American doctor and an aid worker describe the deepening misery in the region as Israel's offensive continues.
Dr. Nahreen Ahmed, a Philadelphia-based doctor and medical director for MedGlobal, a U.S. based nongovernmental organization that sends volunteer doctors and nurses into disaster areas and war zones, has been to Syria, Yemen and Ukraine. But the American doctor said that what she saw in Gaza before she left in January was incomparable.
'The Israeli government has said the problems getting aid distributed in Gaza are the fault of the United Nations.Anderson said there's more to the hold up. 'It's not just the U.N.,' Anderson said. 'Every day there's a couple hours where nothing moves, OK? And that's not us. There's just nothing to get.'For 70 years, UNRWA has been the largest aid organization in Gaza, providing food, education and medical care.
