From Shu’fat refugee camp to the Orkney Islands
Five Palestinians from a refugee camp near Jerusalem are telling their stories on a tour of Britain as guests of Unite Community. Morning Star northern reporter PETER LAZENBY meets them in Yorkshire
SHU’FAT is a Palestinian refugee camp in Israeli occupied territory near Jerusalem. It is large, overcrowded and is home to 40,000 Palestinians.
It lies within what Israel considers to be “Greater Jerusalem” but is surrounded on three sides by Israel’s “separation wall.” Behind the wall are a growing number of Israeli settlements, illegal under international law.
Five workers from the camp are on a 19-day tour of Britain speaking at public meetings, meeting MPs, medical and educational professionals, trade unions, activist groups and others.
