88 b Sleepless Gaza Jerusalem.divx

Day 88 B - Special Edition: Ashira is in Tulkarem where she meets up with Laila Khartabil and together they set off on a quest to find Laila's grandparents home that they left in 1948. Since Laila's grandfather was a famous doctor, chances are people will remember him and point to the house. Who is better, Sherlock Holmes or these two? Walk the streets of Tulkarem as you hear the story of Laila's family that used to own lands in Tiberias and Tulkarem and ended up in Beirut, London. Would the abandoned house they find be the one they are looking for? Learn about old Palestinian architecture. Join Laila and Ashira at the old hospital that has become a mental health center. Dr. Bassam Assia there has news: his father used to tell him about Dr. Khartabil and how people used to come from all over Palestine to be treated by him! Do they find the house? What is it that they found?

"your mom is one among 7 million"... of those considered refugees, probably 95% never stepped any of Israel or any of the territories. Their grandparents might have, not them.

There are very nice photos of the house (with doors and windows) in Google Earth (32.315074°N 35.029927°E) by XSusan. In panoramio, a photo has an ID of 32160687 and XSusan's user ID is 1483422. "An old edifice to be knocked down" is the title used to describe these photos.

This is a very nice experience. Laila has to find much more about this story. She might end up saving this beautiful historical house.
