Um Ayman Abu Bakra

I am a Palestinian woman, 80 years old, born before the Nakba in 1948. I was 4 years old when Palestine was occupied. I live with my deaf children and 27 grandchildren in my house on the eastern border separating us from our occupied lands. My family has been in danger all our lives because of our proximity to the border, but I consider this place my life and I feel a strong connection to it. Our demand is the liberation of our homeland and our return to our homes destroyed by the occupation during this oppressive war.
