In Middle East conflicts, families struggle to care for elderly members
(The Christian Science Monitor) War and its problems are never far from Jafar Ghazi’s family.
One recent night, two bodies were found on a street near the Iraqi family’s Baghdad home; just days before, two children from the neighborhood were kidnapped.
But such violence isn’t Ghazi’s only concern. Living at home is his ailing mother-in-law, who has high medical costs and an ever-increasing need of care.
