(NewsNation) — Israeli authorities say 68 people — 19 sick or wounded children plus their companions — have been allowed out of the Gaza Strip and into Egypt in the first medical evacuation since early May, but thousands of children remain lost, traumatized or in critical condition in Gaza.
Pediatric ICU Dr. Tanya Haj-Hassan with Doctors Without Borders joins "Morning in America" to discuss the growing humanitarian crisis in Gaza, saying doctors on the ground are no longer surprised by the tragedies they are witnessing.
"Most access to Gaza has been cut off by Israel. We have been unable to cross the Rafah crossing now for for a couple of months, that crossing has been destroyed. The infrastructure has been destroyed by Israeli forces, and we are essentially at the mercy of what Israel will and will not let in or out in terms of both humanitarian aid and patients that need evacuation," Haj-Hassan said.
