77 Years After the Nakba: A Palestinian Woman's Story of Loss and Resilience

Seventy-seven years after the 1948 Nakba, the displacement of Palestinians continues to be a significant issue. This is highlighted in a recent video featuring Julia Halteh, who was just 12 when her family was forced to flee their home. Ms. Halteh describes their large house being taken and divided by Israeli forces, and the devastating impact this had on her family. "We kept walking day and night," she recalls, "not knowing where we were going." The lack of resources after their displacement prevented her from continuing her education, a loss she still feels deeply. Her story serves as a poignant reminder of the lasting consequences of the Nakba and the ongoing struggle for Palestinian rights. Ms. Halteh's father's wish to die in his homeland, a wish unfulfilled, underscores the enduring emotional toll of displacement. Her testimony, captured in a moving video, offers a powerful human perspective on this historical event.
