On a summer Tuesday in West Sussex, a London family of four entered the sea at Shoreham Fort and did not come back whole. Hassan El-Khawas, his wife Zeina Alayn, and their teenage daughter Sara died that afternoon; their youngest, six-year-old Saja, survived the water only to die in hospital three days later. Police found no wrongdoing — only the particular cruelty of an accident that erases an entire family in an ordinary afternoon. What remains is grief, in London, in Shoreham, and in a Palestinian community that has lost four of its own to a summer day gone irreversibly wrong.
