The war in Gaza has wiped out entire Palestinian families

LA Times  

This combination of photos shows relatives of Youssef Salem whom he has lost from Israeli strikes during the Gaza war which started Oct. 7, 2023. “The numbers are shocking,” said Hussam Abu al Qumssan, who lives in Libya and has taken over documenting the family death toll as his relatives in Gaza struggled to keep track. When afternoon becomes night Ramzy Abu al Qumssan’s family lived in the Jabaliya refugee camp since his family was displaced in 1948 from Deir Sneid, a village north of Gaza in what is now Israel. “I knew she was not coming back and that she wouldn’t be pulled out of under the rubble.” In all, 55 members of his family perished in Jabaliya in two Israeli bombings two weeks apart. “I left Gaza, but I still belong,” said Youssef Salem, who told AP his family story over a series of telephone interviews.
