内容摘要：Nell, meanwhile, is ready to perform with her old beau. She needs the money, but has also moved on with her life — making chutney in the Pacific Northwest, and seems to be in a good place. Herb remains the put-upon artist, a ball of childish anxiety and ego who has since sold out and seems to regret how things transpired with Nell so many years ago. And then there’s Charles who is simply elated to be in the presence of these two. It’s a fun group of somewhat conflicting interests to mash together.

Nell, meanwhile, is ready to perform with her old beau. She needs the money, but has also moved on with her life — making chutney in the Pacific Northwest, and seems to be in a good place.

(AP Photo/Abdel Kareem Hana)The Nassars fled their home in Jabaliya refugee camp early last year, moving around northern Gaza. Khalid Nassar’s son Mahmoud was killed in October when he tried to go back home to retrieve some clothes in the neighboring building, which they also owned, and a strike hit it, Nassar said. His daughter was also killed in a separate airstrike on her home in Jabaliya, where her body too remains buried under rubble.

The family returned in January, as soon as Israeli troops withdrew from Jabaliya, which had been the scene of some of the fiercest fighting of the war in the previous four months.Aid boxes and packaged food are lined up on shelves in the Nassar family house in the Jabaliya refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip, Feb. 9, 2025.

They found the top floor of their three-story building was wiped away. One of Nassar’s sons settled with his wife and kids on the second floor. The 61-year-old Nassar, his wife Khadra Abu Libda, 59, and the five children of another son, who was imprisoned by Israel, moved into what remains of the ground floor.Miraculously, their living room furniture remained. Other rooms were trashed, littered with debris. In one room, someone had spray painted “Hamas” on the wall – Nassar said he didn’t know who did it or whether the house was used by fighters during the battles.
