As dawn broke on Thursday, Haitham Abu Ammar combed through the rubble of the school that had become a shelter to him and thousands of other displaced Gazans. For hours, he helped people piece together the limbs of the ones they loved. “The most painful thing I have ever experienced was picking up those pieces of flesh with my hands,” said Mr. Abu Ammar, a 27-year-old construction worker. “I never thought I would have to do such a thing.”Early on Thursday, Israeli airstrikes hit the school complex, killing dozens of people — among them at least nine militants, the Israeli military said. Over the course of the day, corpses and mangled limbs recovered from the rubble were wrapped in blankets, stacked in truck beds and driven to Al Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, the last major medical facility still operating in central Gaza.

However, when it came to deciding who to invite to this spring soiree, the mood got heavy in a hurry. I wondered if my son was becoming a mean kidMy plan was to invite the whole class just like we did the previous year, but when I mentioned this to my son, he was not on board. AdvertisementI asked him how he felt when he wasn't invited to an event and reminded him how important it is to always be kind. The kids in question didn't even end up attending the party, but that really wasn't the point. Next year, he still might not want to invite the whole class for his birthday so perhaps we pivot and also have an end of the year class party with everyone, an idea Edlynn suggested.
