A nurse described the harrowing situation in Gaza relief camps. She said children were walking around with burns, open wounds and even partially amputated limbs. The nurse, now back in the US, said she had to send back the parents of these children as medical supplies dried up.

The nurse said over 50,000 people were cramped up at a camp with only four toilets and four hours of running water.

Emily Callahan, who works with Doctors Without Borders, spent 26 days in war-torn Gaza. “Me being safe is the result of having to leave people behind,” she said upon her arrival in the US.

When asked if she would return to Gaza, she did not hesitate once. “In a heartbeat. My heart is in Gaza, it will stay in Gaza,” Callahan told CNN in an interview.

“This is our community, our family, these are our friends. If they're going to kill us, we're going to die saving as many people as we can,” she said in the interview.
