    The Land of Sad Oranges by Ghassan Kanafani

    It is about a family moving away from their homeland and attaining the refugee status in another country. My intention of uploading this short story does not involve harm to any religious or ethnic community. I urge the audience to listen to the emotions and alterations in the minds and bodies of children and families who lose a part of themselves when they lose their homeland.
