from Syracuse University's Division of International Programs Abroad (DIPA).

Her parents found out about the tragedy after they arrived at the airport to pick her up.

And the tragedy killed more than this young woman. Her father and mother succumbed to early deaths, even her younger brother. A whole family wiped out.

For a political statement.
