Hakma Attallah Mousa, is 108 years old. She's originally from the village of al-Sawafir al-Shamaliya, 30 kilometers from Gaza, where she now lives in a refugee camp.

"My mother was wounded when we were fleeing," Hakma recalled about what happened in 1948. "After we had packed some of our things and started to walk out of the village, she was shot. We carried her until we reached a hospital in Gaza City. A few weeks later, she died."

“We want to return, my son, back to our village, and we will,” she told our reporter. “We want to return to our homeland.”
