77 years ago, the old woman Yousra Ramadan lived all the horrors and tragedies of the Palestinian Nakba, including the displacement of her family from her village, Tal Al -Safi, northwest of the occupied city of Hebron, where she was living a good and happy life, but she had to leave all her property for fear of killing by the Zionist gangs at the time.
But the old old man, 92, who currently lives in Nusseirat camp in the central Gaza Strip -considers that the Palestinian people in the Strip are living a new, ugliest and fiercest calamity than the one that they suffered in 1948.
And the “Nakba” is a term that the Palestinians call what happened on May 15, 1948, in which Israel was announced on the occupied Palestinian territories after the displacement of about 750,000 Palestinians.
In an interview with Al -Jazeera Net, she remembers the old man, Yusra, the horrors of the Nakba, sitting inside her broken house in Nasserat camp, and tells how her father left the village of Tal Al -Safi, carrying a box containing old papers that include land cocoin, birth certificates and identification documents for her and her family members.
“Before the Nakba, we were living in beautiful days in Tal Al -Safi, before we turned into refugees that Israel pursues today.”
The horrors of the Nakba
The tragedy of the old woman and the sons of its village, Tal Al-Safi, began on July 9, 1948, in what she described as “fateful day” when it was occupied as part of the “An-Var” operation (abbreviation of “Against Farouk”) that was carried out by the Ghusati Brigade.
On the same day, the neighboring village of Barkusia was also occupied, forcing the people to leave their homes and flee.
In her interview with Al -Jazeera Net, the old woman recounts, “I was 15 years old.
“We took my father on the donkey with a little luggage, and we fled from the bombing through Beersheba until we arrived in the Gaza Strip, we met a fiction erected in the east of Gaza, and we sat in it about 40 days.”
“After that, they created a camp for us at the location of Al -Shifa Hospital, west of Gaza City, and his name was Al -Jamazat camp, in addition to other camps for refugees from other villages that were displaced in 1948,” she added.
Longing to her village
With a longing mixed with sorrow, the old man remembers the life of her family in Tal Al -Safi.
“We used to eat fresh milk and drink fresh milk, we used to live in peace, peace and a happy life.”
“We thought that we will return after days or weeks, but the days have become a long time, and our lives turned upside down.”
Although 76 years have passed since the Nakba, the old man Yousra still dreams of returning, “I hope to live in a small room in my village, plant and eat from my ground, die and be buried in her soil.”
A new catastrophe and an unparalleled war
The old man is describing what is happening in the Gaza Strip since the outbreak of the Israeli war on October 7, 2023 by saying, “There were many wars from 1948, but their life has not warned in this form.”
“The occupation was satisfied with our displacement from our villages, we have followed our lives into hell with a continuous killing and extermination from the Nakba for the day, especially in the Gaza Strip.”
“Gina is on Gaza, and how much war we have seen, but like this war, what happened to us, there is no mind or blood in us, there are no children, homes, trees, no stone (…), and the slaughter in us is continuous.”
And she confirms that what is happening today is a calamity that exceeds all of what preceded it, “Children are slaughtered, and their bodies fly from the severity of the bombing, the houses collapse on the heads of their residents, which is a safe limit.”
Unparalleled famine
On the widespread famine in the Gaza Strip as a result of the closure of the crossings and the imposition of a comprehensive blockade 3 months ago, the old man Yousra said, “Since 1948, we have not passed as a famine, such as the famine that we live today.”
And she notes that after the flour ran out, she resorted to grinding lentils and corn to produce bread, in a desperate attempt to face hunger in the suffocating siege, as is the case with all the residents of the sector.
“The conditions are no longer tolerated, people struggle with hunger and death at the same time, there is no food, there is no medicine, and what has remained of life is something.”
On May 15, the Palestinians anniversary anniversary of the “Nakba” via marches, events and exhibitions inside and outside the Palestinian territories in the diaspora.
Israel has committed absolute American support since October 7, 2023 genocide in Gaza, which left about 173,000 between a martyr and a wounded – most of them children and women – and more than 11,000 missing.
