Fathers away from home fear for family members stuck in Gaza as war rages: "I am sick with worry"

Until the bloody Oct. 7 terror attacks by Hamas led Israel to declare war, many Palestinians routinely traveled from Gaza to Israel every day. 

About 110,000 people in the territory would cross the border daily, but now, thousands of those workers are trapped outside of Gaza in places like the West Bank, while their families are unable to leave the war zone.

The United Nations estimates that more than 45% of housing in Gaza is damaged or destroyed. The Hamas-run Gaza Ministry of Health has said that more than 10,000 people are dead, and a State Department official recently told Congress that while it will only know the true death toll once the fighting stops, it's possible the number is even higher.
