Emily Callahan left Gaza but her heart is still with her colleagues there.
American nurse Emily Callahan was the guest of CNN to explain what she has witnessed in the last 3 weeks in Gaza.
During her interview with CNN she confirmed that Gaza Strip is facing a serious humanitarian crisis.
Because the population suffers from a severe shortage of medicine, water, food, and fuel.
In addition to the ongoing Israeli shelling that has killed and injured thousands.
Medical workers are struggling in Gaza.
According to Callahan, medical workers in Gaza are facing a difficult dilemma.
As they must choose between who should receive treatment and who should be left to die.
The hospitals are also overcrowded and do not have enough resources to care for all patients.
Callahan speaks about the suffering of children in particular in Gaza.
As many of them are seriously injured as a result of the shelling.
Children with chronic diseases, such as diabetes, also face difficulty in obtaining the necessary medical care.
After she left Gaza, Emily Callahan shared her experience to raise awareness of the humanitarian crisis in the Strip.
She also calls for an immediate ceasefire and urgent humanitarian aid to the population.
Here are some statistics that illustrate the scale of the humanitarian crisis in Gaza:
- More than 10,000 Palestinians got killed and about 25,000 got injured in Israeli airstrikes.
- Over 1,000 buildings have been destroyed, including homes, hospitals, and schools.
- The population is suffering from a severe shortage of medicine, water, food, and fuel.
- There is a risk of the spread of infectious diseases due to poor sanitation.
If the ceasefire is not stopped and urgent humanitarian aid is not provided, the humanitarian crisis in Gaza will worsen significantly, leading to more suffering and death.
