Last month, an Israeli airstrike leveled a residential building in Baalbek, Lebanon killing nine-year-old Karim Al-Haj Hussein’s parents, brother, and a young neighbor. Karim was the sole survivor of the attack. From his uncle’s house in Beirut, Karim recounts the day of the airstrike. On March 19, residents of the neighborhood held a funeral for the victims: Karim’s parents Mahdi Hassan Al-Haj Hussein and Alya Al-Bouari, his brother Ghadi, and their neighbor, Gita Nabil Shams.
