My cousin Ziyad loved his family, Gaza’s candies and life. A bomb ended all that on Friday night | Ghada Ageel

My cousin Ziyad, a dedicated social worker in Khan Younis refugee camp, was killed in a missile strike on his home, where he was sleeping. The attack injured his wife and four children, and multiple family members, highlighting the devastating toll of ongoing violence in Gaza, particularly on children. Ziyad’s compassionate nature and community involvement were well-known, and the loss of him and many others in this tragedy underscores the profound impact of the conflict on families and entire communities.
