In this second episode of Lift the Silence, my friend shares the moment she discovered that 13 members of her family — including one of her nieces as young as three — had been killed in a single bombstrike in the governorate of Deir al-Balah in Gaza. All were innocent civilians, trapped in a place they loved but could never leave. Over 20 minutes, we trace how the rules of war were ignored, and how a family was quietly erased.


If you’d like to support efforts to rebuild even a small part of what was lost, you can donate via the GoFundMe link below or by scanning the QR code at the beginning and end of the episode. Thank you, sincerely.
