‘The Nakba was the end of a peaceful life. We were rendered vulnerable and homeless’
Asmaa Rafiq Kuheil

AS A Palestinian, my family life turned upside down in the 1948 war, which was the worst thing that ever happened in history of Palestine. 

May 15 1948 was the unforgettable date which all Palestinians remember mixed with a spectacular will and a strong faith of returning. 

As known, we always label this day as “al-Nakba,” which was the result of a human-made military plan with the consent of other states, leading to a significant tragedy for us.
