Ahmed Alkhatib is a volunteer at WRAP. He came to the US in 2005 from Gaza City, Palestine with a cultural exchange program. However, when the program was over he was unable to return home due to the ongoing war and border closure. Instead, he returned to the US and received political asylum status. In the US, he connected with the struggle of poor people, especially the homeless, who reminded him so much of Palestinian families and individuals losing their homes due to demolition and violence. He was stunned by the number of homeless people in the richest and most powerful country in the world. He joined WRAP hoping to contribute to poor people's struggle to gain human rights and dignity. He hopes to utilize the experience he gains in advancing his own people's struggle for justice and human rights.
