RESTRICTION SUMMARY: APAwire CLIENTS ONLY SHOTLIST: APAwire - APAwire CLIENTS ONLY, Gaza- 16 September 2023. Palestinian woman Rehab Kanaan, 69, speaks during interviews on the occasion of the Forty-one years ago, on September 16, 1982, at her home in Gaza city 0.1 SOUNDBITE (in Arabic) Rehab Kanaan STORYLINE: Rehab Kanaan is a Palestinian poet living in Gaza. Rehab has lost 54 members of her family (the Hamza family) during the Lebanon Tal al-Za’atar massacre, in 1976, and the Sabra and Shatila massacre, in 1982. Rehab was born in 1954 in Lebanon after her family was expelled following the Nakba, the violent creation of Israel atop the ruins of Palestinian towns and villages in 1948. Her family lived in several areas of Lebanon before settling in the Tal al-Za’atar refugee camp in Beirut. In 1976, when the Lebanese Phalangist sieged the camp and stormed it, Rehab lost 51 family members, including her father, her mother, five brothers, and three sisters. Six years later, the Phalanges, under the command of the Israeli army, stormed the two refugee camps of Sabra and Shatila, killing over 3,000 Palestinians. On that sad occasion, Rehab lost three more family members, including her son. Forty-one years ago, on September 16, 1982, and under the cover and support from the invading Israeli army under the command of Ariel Sharon, pro-Israel Lebanese militias entered Sabra and Shatila Palestinian refugee camps in besieged Beirut and committed one of the most horrifying massacres in modern history. After three days of pogrom in the two camps and under the eyes of the Israeli army, more than 4,000 people, most of them Palestinian refugees - elderly men, women and children - were massacred in cold blood in their homes and in the streets.
