Yousef Salem works on his computer in Istanbul, Turkey, Wednesday, April 17, 2024. In December 2023, in a matter of days, 173 of his relatives were killed in Israeli airstrikes. By spring that toll had risen to 270. He spent months filling a spreadsheet with their vital details as news of their deaths was confirmed, to preserve a last link to the web of relationships he thought would thrive for generations more. “My uncles were wiped out, totally. The heads of households, their wives, children, and grandchildren,” he said. (AP Photo/Khalil Hamra)
