Since October 7,
my life has been split between two parallel realms. In the first, I go about my
daily life as usual here in Turkey, where I work, visit my friends, do my
routine shopping, and take care of my immediate family. In the second realm, I
am immersed in the daily reports of the death, destruction, displacement, and
fear that my family, friends, and neighbors are enduring in Gaza, and try to
help them as much as possible.
