Palestinians forcibly displaced from Jenin shelter at West Bank university
Hundreds of Palestinians who have been displaced by Israel’s military siege of the Jenin refugee camp in the occupied West Bank are sheltering at the Arab American University campus in the city of Jenin, according to the AFP news agency.
Mohammed Shalabi, a 53-year-old Palestinian father, is among them.
“Everyone knows that when the army enters, it destroys the infrastructure, even the cars,” the municipal worker said of the Israeli military operation, which began in Jenin on January 21.
Shalabi said he has avoided “discussing all of this” with his 80-year-old father to protect his fragile health.
“But he understands and sometimes, he cries, because he lived through the Nakba, and now this…” said Shalabi, referring to the mass displacement of Palestinians in the war that accompanied Israel’s creation in 1948.
