At least 18 Palestinians, including four children, were killed in airstrikes by Israeli warplanes targeting the central Gaza Strip with one of the strikes hitting tents set up for displaced persons in what the Israeli military claims is a "humanitarian safe zone.”
Medical sources at the Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital said that six bodies were brought to the hospital after an Israeli airstrike hit a house in the Zeitoun neighborhood.

I also have a dog that believes he's the center of the universe. For all I know, he's right.
The Price of Survival is not my usual story, but I am so glad I wrote it. Exploring societal trauma and survival from three different perspectives, it gave me a chance to dig into some ideas I don't usually get a chance to play with.
