Rooted Like an Olive Tree, A Palestinian Father Defies Forced Displacement

Rooted Like an Olive Tree, A Palestinian Father Defies Forced Displacement

Mohammad, 37, is a Palestinian father originally from Beit Hanoun. He has experienced multiple displacements throughout his life. When another forced displacement order came, he refused to leave. He made the unwavering decision to stay and nurture the land in the same way it has nurtured his family and neighbours during the war. Nearly the entire population of 2 million people in Gaza have experienced repeated displacement, each time losing a little more but never losing their humanity.
