"It felt like we were in a war zone," he recalls. "You can't step on the floor. Everything is full of broken glass. It was unbelievable. In the vicinity of my lab, three floors had collapsed. There was no trace of the lab. It's incomprehensible."

That's a daily life for Palestinians if they get to live at all.

Him lab was destroyed.

In Palestine, their work, their grocery stores, their hospitals, their schools, and their homes are all like this now.
