"Living for decades in crowded refugee camps in the West Bank, the elderly survivors who MEE met spoke of their steadfast yearning to return to their former homes. Some said they still have dreams at night of working in the fields. Azza, who now lives in al-Amari camp near the city of Ramallah, recalls how Tell al-Safi used to be a self-sufficient village with an abundance of various crops - fields growing wheat, barley, corn, sesame, tomato and okra, while trees bore olives, apples, figs and almonds. "At the edge of the village, there was a water well and, using animals, water was pumped from the well to water tanks,” she recalled. “We didn’t need anything from outside the village.""

Mosab Abu Toha: "Today i turn 33. I was born in a refugee camp called al-Shati Camp, or Beach Camp, in Gaza City. This photo was taken in March 2022 on the beach of Beit Lahia, north Gaza. I lived in Beit Lahia, the city of Strawberries, from the age of 8 until I was forced out of Gaza. Beit Lahia was where I got married, where I became a father. It’s where I started writing.
