“Since October 2023, every morning, when I wake up, I do something that is harmful to my mental health, but essential. I grab my phone and open social media groups I have from Gaza. I read the breaking news from the night before. The news is filled with horror: reports of families being killed in Gaza, tents being targeted, carpet bombardments, sometimes accompanied by graphic images and video. Often, I read the names of streets I’ve walked on and buildings I’ve passed by, and I see images of people who were once my neighbors or classmates. This has been my routine, every day, since October 7, 2023.” (10/01/25)
