People in Gaza are 'subjected to incredible and unspeakable suffering'

Newshour

Available for over a year

Milena Angelova-Chee, a Bulgarian doctor, was in Nasser Hospital in Gaza when Dr Hamdi al-Najjar was rushed in for treatment after his home was bombed. She spoke to Newshour's Lyse Doucet about meeting his wife, Dr Ela al-Najjar, and how she was struck by her stoicism after losing all but one of her 10 children.
