War is Hell, but we often only see it as a conflict of grown ups and overlook how it impacts the children caught in the middle of it.
For this segment of "Gift of the Gab" I interview Dr. Nour Akhras, a pediatrician and who has been on a number of medical missions in war-torn areas. Her experiences there and how 9/11 impacted her being Muslim in America, inspired her to write her book, "Just One: A Journey of Perseverance and Conviction".
We discuss her experiences working within the areas of conflict and what are the impacts of war and displacement on children?
