After ten months of being forced to leave the Tulkarm refugee camp in the West Bank following an Israeli military operation, Hakim Irheir does not know if he will ever be able to return...
His story has become a symbol of the suffering of thousands of Palestinians in a similar situation. According to Hakim, life in the camp was full of difficulties, but after the operation, the situation became even worse.
"I lost everything," he says. "My home, my job, my security. I don't know what to do next."
International organizations are calling on Israeli authorities to ensure safe access for all civilians wishing to return to their homes. For now, Hakim Irheir and thousands of other Palestinians continue to live in uncertainty, hoping for the best.
