Host Ani Haines speaks with Nael Saker about the upsurge of violence in Gaza.
Nael Saker works with the Arab American Cultural Center of Oregon. While he is now a U.S. citizen, Nael is originally from Gaza City, where his brother and sisters still live.
International pressure is mounting to stop the violence and to demand humanitarian aid be allowed to the region.
Attacks are continuing, even as talk of a ceasefire is underway.
