I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Zakaria. Zakaria’s mother is Ukrainian and they lived in Gaza City where he was a software engineer. Early in the war his house was fire bombed killing his brother and father and leaving Zakaria trapped in the rubble with significant injuries.
