Suheir Owdah at Dheisheh Refugee Camp Pt5

Dheisheh Refugee Camp is a Palestinian refugee camp located just south of Bethlehem in the West Bank. Dheisheh was established in 1949 as a temporary refuge for 3,400 Palestinians from 45 villages west of Jerusalem and Hebron who fled during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. More than 60 years later Palestinian refugees are still living here waiting to return to their land.

Suheir Owdah, one of the activists in the refugee camp, shares her story and thoughts on Occupation with the 33rd delegation of the Interfaith Peace Builders. (www.ifpb.org)
