UNRWA USA 37d ago

From 1948 to today, what has changed? In part one of this three-part series, UNRWA USA Vice President of Philanthropy Hani Almadhoun shares his family’s Nakba story and their refusal to repeat the history of displacement today. The Nakba is not only history, it is a livedis lived memory and for so many Palestinian families, it is a somber reminder of history repeating itself over and over again. To put this into perspective, nine out of ten people in Gaza have been displaced since October 2023, not only once but as many as eight, nine, or even ten times. This lived trauma of ongoing displacement is still happening today, as you watch this video, as you read these words. The harsh reality is we can’t undo the intergenerational trauma that millions of Palestine refugees have lived through and continue to carry with them. What we can do is center their voices and share their stories as an act of firm solidarity saying— we won’t stay silent, and we will keep raising our voices. Take a moment today to listen to Hani’s family history. Make this your act of solidarity today and tune back in next week to hear the rest. For Hani’s family, for every Palestinian family who has been separated from their home and loved ones, for every Palestine refugee—this is why we do this work. This is why we all must bear witness.
