Rehoused Lebanon refugees still long for Palestine
http://www.arabianbusiness.com/rehoused-lebanon-refugees-still-long-for-palestine-401350.html

Like the crowds of Palestinian refugees who rattled Israel's border fences this week, Subhia Loubani yearns to return to the homeland she had to flee when the Jewish state was created in 1948.

Even though, unlike most of them, she has a brand-new house.

Loubani, 72, received a key last month to one of the first few homes built by UNRWA, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, in north Lebanon's Nahr Al Bared camp, which was utterly destroyed in fighting nearly four years ago.

Still, she said, given a chance, "I'd leave the house and go to Palestine, my country. I can't forget Palestine."
