Palestinian American families who say they have collectively lost 1,000 family members in Gaza are speaking out about the pain the war has brought.
The 10 families — hailing from New Jersey, New York and other states in the Northeast — say they have collectively lost over 1,000 family members in total in the recent fighting between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.
Those remaining are pleading for the U.S. to help them save the few family members they have left.
"Our whole block, all our cousins, our family, my grandparents, all of them are gone," said Ola, a young Palestinian American from New Jersey.
Ola says 93 members of her family were killed within a matter of minutes during Israel's current military offensive against Hamas in Gaza.
"President Biden [is] supporting this genocide, and it is not okay, so we demand a cease-fire," Ola said. "Not just me, all of America, all Palestinian families are demanding a cease-fire."
