By the end of the year, their 4,000 year-old community was leveled and half of all Palestinians in Palestine had been killed or expelled. Palestinians know this event as the Nakba ("the catastrophe"). Mariam, now 86 years old and respectfully known as Umm Akram, has spent the last 68 years in crowded, makeshift refugee camps, where she has raised three generations of children who are waiting to return to their homes in Palestine. She has lived through 5 Israeli invasions of Lebanon and the 1976 Tel Al-Zaatar camp massacre which killed 2,000 refugees. Amena El-Ashkar, 23, is the granddaughter and great granddaughter of Nakba survivors and has known no home other than a refugee camp. Umm Akram and Amena are among six million Palestinians not living in Palestine. They are citizens of no country. *Come hear their story. * https://www.facebook.com/events/1694328587503764 <http://al-awdany.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0e23c03184488eae326175015&id=168a657390&e=4bd3015685> Middle Eastern dinner will be served.
