On Our Way Home-18

Beit Nattif: a destroyed Palestinian Arab village. Prior to 1948 it lay nestled on a hilltop, surrounded by olive groves and almonds, with woodlands of oak and carobs overlooking Wadi es-Sunt (the Elah Valley) to its south. (Wikipedia) It was the home of many famlies now living in the Aida refugee camp whom I photographed.
