Abeer Barakat commemorates the 76th anniversary of the Nakba from Gaza, where she has been displaced 11 times in Israel's ongoing genocide of Gaza. She shares her grandmother's story of expulsion from her home in Yafa during the 1948 Nakba. Barakat reflects on similar scenes unfolding before her eyes in Gaza, including the destruction of her home in Gaza City. This piece is useful as a primary source, a Palestinian account of the Gaza genocide, and an example of intergenerational Palestinian memory and the ongoing Nakba.
