Gaza residents who have survived Israel i attacks are struggling to pick up the pieces of their lives while trying to cope with the grief of losing their loved ones. Areej Ashour, 26, cares for her children while grieving the loss of her husband and her home.

When asked about loss and grief, she says she doesn't know where to begin. The 26-year-old describes her world as shattered every day since Israel declared war on her hometown more than a year ago. Yet the agony of two specific days remains unparalleled: the day her home was destroyed by an Israeli airstrike in December 2023, and the day her husband was killed by another in August, just weeks before the son he had been eagerly awaiting was born. 'Loss here is not just physical. It's a wound that never stops bleeding. You lose your loved ones, your home, and any sense of normalcy or hope,' Ashour tells. The Gazan man who shot to worldwide fame early on in the war for his poignant farewell of his slain three-year-old granddaughter, who he called 'the soul of my soul,' garnered global sympathy. Israel just murdered Khaled Nabhan, whose story garnered global attention last year when CNN ran a report about Israel slaughtering his grandchild 'the soul of soul' by an Israeli airstrike on December 12. His death served as a fresh reminder that countless Palestinians are grappling with grief and loss on a daily basis as the death toll continues to climb each day. Like thousands of Palestinians trapped in an embattled Gaza wiped out by Israel, Ashour's loss permeates every aspect of her life, leaving many Palestinians experiencing a daily reality of grief, with deep emotional and mental tolls and unconsolable wounds that aren't given the chance to heal
