To mark Refugee Week, Keele University invited ASHA (African Social Health Agency) invited to a small reception followed by a Photographic Exhibition and some music in the chapel. I went along to accompany ASHA and besides speaking about the needs of destitution asylum seekers, I met several people interested in Palestine; the father of one of the organisers had been born in a refugee camp in Lebanon, his father’s village having been wiped off the map in 1948.
Next year Sumud Palestine must use Refugee Week to draw attention to the estimated seven million Palestinian refugees and displaced persons who comprise the largest single group of refugees in the world.
