Twelve years ago, Abdel-Karim Abu Jalhoum fled war and poverty in the besieged Palestinian territory of Gaza for safety in Türkiye. On Monday, the massive earthquake that devastated parts of Türkiye and Syria killed him and his entire family. Abu Jalhoum, his wife Fatima, and their four children, who escaped the war in Gaza, are among 70 Palestinians who were killed in powerful quakes in southern Türkiye, Palestinian officials say.
