‘Today is much worse’ says 95-year-old Nakba survivor

95-year-old Hajja Fatima Obeid stands as a witness to the 1948 Nakba, having lived through the initial displacement of the Palestinian people, only to find herself facing renewed displacement during the latest genocide in Gaza.
Hajja Fatima, who has endured decades of hardship and successive wars on Gaza, said she never expected to live through what she described as a “war of annihilation”. She lost her home in the Shuja’iyya neighbourhood, east of Gaza City, along with more than 70 of her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, as a result of relentless Israeli bombardment.

Today, the elderly Palestinian woman is living through severe humanitarian conditions amid her continued displacement. The war has robbed her of her memories, her home and her loved ones, leaving her a living witness to two generations of displacement and suffering — from the Nakba of the past to the genocide of today.
