'Every single day, I've watched small children die': American nurse shares heartbreaking work in Gaza

JERUSALEM -- "Every single day, I've watched small children die."

Those are the words of Nurse Brenda Maldonado from Washington State, describing to ABC News what she witnessed over the past two weeks.



"Any time we get mass casualties, which is almost every single day, the patients are brought in and placed directly on the floor, and we're treating them," Maldonado said.



"A lot of blast injuries, shrapnel injuries, children, older people," she said. "Everybody of any age, not soldiers. I haven't seen a soldier since I've been here. It's basically civilians."
