The village of Saffuriya was attacked on 16 July 1948 and its 5,000 inhabitants expelled. Today most are refugees in Lebanon and Syria, but a number live two miles away in Nazareth in their own neighbourhood called Sufafra. They can still see the lands of their former village, and families often return to collect water from the spring. In 2006, a year after this photo was taken, the authorities erected a wire fence around the spring to keep them out. (April 2005)
