My #Dad, aged 27, at #RefugeeCamp in #Indonesia - 1979. Photo was taken by humanitarian aid workers to help #VietnamWar#refugees get sponsored to go to Europe, Canada, USA & Australia, under asylum.
My Dad passed away June 9, 2023.
He went through hell & back, several times. He beat almost all odds. Until #covid infection in hospital in 2022. #LongCovid killed him last year.
#AmnestyInternational said during the time Almog was the head of the #Israeli army's Southern Command, an area that includes the #Gaza Strip, between December 2000 and July 2003, he is accused of involvement in the destruction of 59 #Palestinian homes by the Israeli army in a #RefugeeCamp in #Rafah on 10 January 2002.

Since Oct. 7 we have seen a dramatic increase in #violence from #Israeli forces in #Jenin . Since then, our teams have treated over 30 #patients with gunshot and blast wounds.
Today, there has been a surge in violence, with widespread #bombing and #shooting – this morning leaflets were dropped on Jenin #RefugeeCamp , telling residents to #evacuate , many of whom have #NoSafePlace to go.
« #US officials have asked the #Israeli#military to explain its #airstrike on a densely populated #RefugeeCamp in #Gaza this week, after the attack killed dozens of people, according to U.S. and Israeli officials.
The #Biden administration requested #Israel detail the thinking and process behind the recent strike on the #Jabalia Refugee Camp in Northern Gaza, according to a U.S. official, who like others was granted anonymity to discuss sensitive conversations. »
When it comes to #Israel & #Palestine there are many misleading & outright false terms & labels being thrown around & mindlessly repeated… #refugees & #RefugeeCamp are examples. What other population is considered “refugees” after multiple generations?
In Lisa M. Hamilton’s new book, The Hungry Season: A Journey of War, Love and Survival, this yearning serves as a metaphor for the story of Ia Moua, a #Hmong#RiceFarmer now living in Fresno, California. Born in the highlands of #Laos in 1964, she fled her village as a teenager after the communist regime took over the country, survived years in a Thai #refugeeCamp, then finally emigrated with her family to the United States in the early 1990s.
