Israel Is Routinely Shooting Children in the Head in Gaza - U.S. Surgeon and Palestinian Nurse

As the official death toll in Gaza passes more than 42,400, the true number may be impossible to know until Israel's war is over. But medical workers who witnessed the carnage in Gaza's hospitals are speaking out.

We speak with Dr. Feroze Sidhwa about his op-ed in The New York Times that features harrowing stories from dozens of healthcare workers and CT scans of children shot in the head or the left side of the chest.

The Times called the corresponding images of the patients too graphic to publish. "I personally wish that Americans could see more of what it looks like when a child is shot in the head, when a child is flayed open by bombs," says Sidhwa.

"I think it would make us think a little bit more about what we do in the world." We also speak with Palestinian nurse Rajaa Musleh, who worked at Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City. "I will never forget the dogs were eating the dead body inside Shifa Hospital at the front of the emergency department. This will be stuck on my mind for my whole life," says Musleh.

"My message for the whole world: We are human beings. We are not numbers. We have the right to receive healthcare inside Gaza."
