Crimes Against Humanity

When were you in Gaza? At the end of April for the first couple weeks of May. Dr Mark pearlmutter an orthopedic surgeon from North Carolina and vice president of the International College of Surgeons volunteered in Gaza so of all the disaster zones you've seen how does Gaza compare all of the disasters I've seen combined combined 40 mission trips 30 years Ground Zero earthquakes all of that combined doesn't equal the level of Carnage that I saw against civilians in just my first week in Gaza and when you say civilians is it mostly children almost exclusively children I've never seen that before never seen that I've seen more incinerated children than I've ever seen in my entire life combined I've seen more shredded children in just the first week shredded shredded what do you mean missing body parts being crushed by buildings the greatest majority or bomb explosions the next greatest majority we've taken shrapnel as big as my thumb out of eight-year-olds and then there's sniper bullets I have children that were shot twice wait you're saying that children in Gaza are being shot by snipers definitively I have two children that I have photographs of that were shot so perfectly in the chest I couldn't put my stethoscope over their heart more accurately and directly on the side of the head in the same child no toddler get shot twice by mistake by the world's best sniper and they're dead center shots in fact more than 20 doctors recently in Gaza also told Sunday morning about gunshot wounds to Children one American doctor told us he even reviewed CT scans to confirm what he saw because he quote didn't believe that this many children could be admitted to a single hospital with gunshot wounds to the Head some shootings have been captured on video the Israel Defense Forces declined our requests for an on camera interview but in an email a spokesperson told CBS News qu the IDF has never and will never deliberately Target children adding remaining in an active combat zone has inherent risks and the IDF stressed that it calls for the evacuation of civilians from combat zones the UN reports that to date more than 80% of gaza's population has been displaced and the majority of its buildings destroyed a reality which is taken its own toll on the well-being of children what about the emotional wounds how can you measure that I can't measure my own

how do you be a uh an orphan and watching your family you know melted in front of you and shredded in front of you how do you fix that ever fix that in fact so many Palestinian children have had family members killed that doctors created a shorthand term WC NSF wounded child no surviving family very proud and honored to be able to bring last month speaking in Washington DC other American doctors echoed Dr pearlmutter calls for help we've described it as a catastrophe a nightmare a hell on Earth it's all of these and worse we didn't even have um hand sanitizer or alcohol or soap most of the time and while we're there we're listening to you know Aid is getting in it's we're we're we're taking care of civilians they're not being targeted and yet we're witnessing a completely different story for dozens of miles we saw 18 wheelers parked bumper-to-bumper engines off outside of Gaza food or Health Care could not get in how many kids are in danger of starvation in Gaza all of them absolutely all of them United Nations experts have accused Israel of carrying out a targeted starvation campaign
