JERUSALEM: In the aftermath of the 1948 expulsion of Palestinians by Zionist gangs to pave the way for the creation of the state of Israel, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians were forced to flee their homes in historical Palestine to neighbouring countries.

Nakba, or the Catastrophe, 28 families settled in the Sheikh Jarrah neighbourhood in East Jerusalem in 1956, hoping that would be the last time they are forced out of their homes.
