The Key of Hope, by Yousef Deeb

I met this elderly man in al Shate’a Camp in Gaza, where I went on a tour to build some documentary project. As you can see, he was holding a key, this key belongs to 1948. He claimed that it is the key of his house, which had been extorted from him by Israeli forces. Till now he still clings to his memories as much as to faith and hope.
