"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.

During that time, Maldonado said, she had been working in two of Gaza's main hospitals. Her deployment to work as a healthcare professional there was organized by MedGlobal, a Chicago-based nongovernmental organization.

Brenda Maldonado is a brave and courageous person. Not only did she put herself in harm’s way, but now she’s speaking out about it.
