Coralville resident and Palestinian from the Gaza Strip Yaser Abudagga poses for a portrait at his home in Coralville, Iowa, on Saturday, Oct. 14, 2023. Abudagga has lost 18 family members during the Israel-Palestine conflict that has been occurring since 1948. “It’s really frustrating and it’s really making life miserable for me,” Abudagga said. “…There is no safe place. Bombing is everywhere: south, north, east, west.”
