Several hundred nurses gathered in protest outside the UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles, California, on July 29, calling for better protection in their front-line fight against the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

The nurses say staffing in the medical center has been decreased and protective supplies are insufficient, creating unsafe conditions for both the staff and patients of the hospital.
