From 1948 to now, a Palestinian woman in Gaza recounts a life of displacement

KHAN YOUNIS, Gaza Strip (AP) — As a 4-year-old, Ghalia Abu Moteir was driven to live in a tent in Khan Younis after her family fled their home in what's now Israel, escaping advancing Israeli forces. Seventy-seven years later, she is now back in a tent under the bombardment of Israel's campaign in Gaza.
On Thursday, Palestinians across the Middle East commemorated the anniversary of the 'Nakba' — Arabic for 'the Catastrophe' — when some 700,000 Palestinians were expelled by Israeli forces or fled their homes in what is now Israel before and during the 1948 war that surrounded its creation.
