'Girl, Wash Your Face' writer Rachel Hollis ready for more

Rachel Hollis says the success of her book, "Girl, Wash Your Face," won't change who she is and how she dispenses advice.

The mom of four says she still wants to be thought of by fans as their girlfriend rather than a guru. The book has made it to the top of most best-seller lists and has sold more than a million copies.

In addition, she and her husband are business partners and work together on "Rise Again," a top marriage podcast on iTunes.

Rachel doesn't hold back in "Girl, Wash Your Face." She describes the suicide of her brother when they were teens, her tense childhood as the daughter of a Pentecostal preacher and the sometimes debilitating anxiety that has plagued her through the years.

RAFAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — A premature Palestinian infant, rescued from her mother's womb shortly after the woman was killed in an Israeli airstrike, has died, her uncle said Friday.

Sabreen Jouda died in a Gaza hospital on Thursday after her health deteriorated and medical teams were unable to save her, said her uncle, Rami al-Sheikh.

Sabreen's home in the southern Gaza city of Rafah was hit by an Israeli airstrike shortly before midnight Saturday. Her parents and 4-year-old sister were killed.

First responders took the bodies to a nearby hospital, where medical workers performed an emergency cesarean section on her mother, Sabreen al-Sakani, who was 30 weeks' pregnant. The infant was kept in an incubator in a neonatal intensive care unit at another hospital until she died five days later.

Al-Sheikh told The Associated Press that Sabreen was buried next to her father on Thursday.

More than 34,000 Palestinians have been killed during the Israel-Hamas war, according to local health officials, who say about two-thirds of the dead are women and children. The health officials don't differentiate among combatants and civilians in their count.

Israel declared war on Hamas and unleashed a pulverizing air and ground offensive in Gaza in response to the militants' Oct. 7 attack on southern Israel. The militants killed about 1,200 people in Israel and took another 250 hostage.

More than half of Gaza's 2.3 million people have sought refuge in Rafah, where Israel has conducted near-daily raids as it prepares for a possible offensive in the city.
