Shamikh Badra, a Palestinian Australian from Gaza, spoke to Green Left in February, the day after he had been told his father’s body, which had been hastily buried last year, had finally been moved to a cemetery.

His father died from being deprived of proper food and medicine by the Israeli occupation forces. He was buried in the backyard of their destroyed family home in Gaza.

Badra is a member of the international committee of the Palestinian People’s Party and founder of the Gaza Nippers program.
