60 Families in Gaza Have Lost Over 25 Family Members in Israeli Attacks Since Oct. 7
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A new investigation by the Associated Press has revealed at least 60
Palestinian families have lost 25 or more family members in Israel's
ongoing war. In some cases entire bloodlines of families have been
killed. AP highlights the story of Youssef Salem. One hundred
seventy-three of his relatives were killed in Israeli airstrikes in
December. About 100 more members of his family have died since then.
Youssef Salem told the AP, "My uncles were wiped out, totally. The heads
of households, their wives, children, and grandchildren."
