Ayish Younis recalls the traumatic experience of fleeing his home in the village of Barbara during the first Arab-Israeli war in 1948. At just 12 years old, he and his extended family left behind their lives and livelihoods, driven by fear and uncertainty. The village, once known for its fertile lands and agricultural abundance, became a memory as Ayish and his grandmother escaped along a sandy road. Decades later, Ayish reflects on the enduring impact of displacement and the lasting pain of losing his homeland.
