Homeless and Hungry, Gazans Fear a Repeat of 1948 History

The Abu Samra family in Gaza, descendants of Palestinians displaced in 1948, fear another Nakba as they face displacement, hunger, and destruction in the current war with Israel. Nearly 2 million people have been driven from their homes in Gaza, with Israel's defense ministry promoting a plan to force much of the population into a small area near the Gaza-Egypt border. The family's patriarch, Abdallah Abu Samra, longs to return to his childhood village in present-day Israel, but now lives in a tent in southern Gaza, separated from most of his family and dreaming of going home.
