Video: 90-year-old who experienced Nakba forcibly displaced again

Anam, 90, is among the 1.1 million Palestinians who have been forcibly ejected from their homes in northern Gaza.

She experienced the Nakba (catastrophe) in 1948, when 750,000 Palestinians were forcibly displaced from their homes to make way for the newly created state of Israel.

In a video first posted by Palestinian journalist Bilal Khaled on Instagram on Friday, the elderly Anam was seen walking among the crowds of civilians making their way to southern Gaza.

Palestinians in Gaza - more than 60 percent of whom are already refugees from other parts of Palestine - are all too familiar with Israeli wars leading to their displacement.
