Audio: Crossing the Line interviews Nahr al-Bared nurse
Podcast, Crossing the Line, 31 July 2007
This week on Crossing The Line: host Christopher Brown talks with Melad Salameh, a resident of Nahr al-Bared, who worked as a nurse while the fighting between militants of Fatah al-Islam and the Lebanese army raged on around him. Now living in the Baddawi refugee camp, Salameh talks about the lingering hope that they might be able to return to their homes in Nahr al-Bared.
In the second segment Brown speaks with Sousan Hammad, a Palestinian-American who is an English teacher and independent journalist living in Ramallah. Hammad discusses accompanying 20 Palestinian children from Jenin refugee camp, on their first visits to their families' land in places like Jerusalem and Haifa. Hammad touches on the feelings of the children whose eyes were opened up to an entirely different world from that of the camp.
And as always, Crossing the Line begins with "This week in Palestine," a service provided by The International Middle East Media Center.
