LIFTA
Bio
Lifta is a peaceful village situated on the slopes of al-Shami Valley, at the western entrance of the city of Jerusalem. Like other Palestinian towns and villages, Lifta’s people were displaced as part of an extensive and premeditated plan of ethnic cleansing in 1948.
Lifta is facing an immediate threat of demolition due to the 6036 plan, which proposes the construction of luxury housing and commercial developments in the area. This plan poses a severe risk to Lifta’s architectural heritage, which is not just a local treasure but a global one, embodying Palestine’s rich cultural and historical legacy
