One family’s loss in Gaza
Dr. Alaa Ali is a Palestinian American doctor in Dearborn, Michigan, who has a large family network in Gaza. Over the past year, he’s lost more than 100 people in his immediate and extended family there.
Here & Now‘s Deepa Fernandes visited Ali in Dearborn and he told her the story of his relatives.
We reached out to the Israeli military for comment about the killing of Ali’s relatives, and they told NPR without specific coordinates of each death they cannot comment. The family does not have specific coordinates. The military spokesperson said they “follow international law.” We could not independently verify these deaths as Israel has not allowed journalists into Gaza since Oct. 7, 2023.
