American struggles with guilt after evacuating Gaza: "Guilty to eat, guilty to sleep"

Naela Elshorafa, an American who was visiting her ill mother in Gaza when the Israel-Hamas war broke out, reunited with her son on Saturday at her home near Los Angeles. She's happy to be home, but says she is struggling with guilt.

"Guilty to eat, guilty to sleep, guilty to take a shower, because I knew about my family over there ... the life they have now," she told CBS News.

Naela Elshorafa's trip to Gaza was originally slated for 10 days. It took a drastic turn when Israeli missiles began to rain down on targets in Gaza in response to Hamas' deadly Oct. 7 attack on Israeli soldiers and civilians. She was caught in the conflict for a month, and tried four times to cross the Egypt-Gaza border.
