Event Description: 

The American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) has a long history in Gaza, starting refugee camps in 1948 for about two years, before the UN created UNRWA. Today, 76 years down the road, the AFSC continues to work in Gaza, and the question of Palestinian refugees has not been resolved yet. The webinar will highlight the work of the AFSC in Gaza over history including today and how life in Gaza has changed after October 7.

Join the conversation with our speaker:


Yousef Aljamal is the Gaza coordinator at the Palestine Activism Program at the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC). Aljamal is a refugee from Al-Nusierat refugee camp in the Gaza Strip. He recently received his PhD at the Middle East Institute at Sakarya University in Turkey. He can be contacted at yaljamal@afsc.org
