We Are Orphans Here

I believe the essay was titled "We Are Orphans Here" because it connects well with the essay and in a way describes what the essay is about. The essay talks about the author visiting Jerusalem with a friend named Baha Nababta who is a community organizer in Shuafat an area in Jerusalem. The author is shocked by his experience and what he sees in a Jerusalem young children driving, living in poor conditions and young kids not being able to go to school. For Baha is not something new and that's the reason why he is in Jerusalem to help the people and refugees. The essay tittle says "we are orphans here" which I think the "we" is signifying the people of Jerusalem and its saying that they are like orphans in the country of Jerusalem. The refugees are left alone with no help or guidance from anyone and they seem to be always be searching for help but there aren't many people in Jerusalen who are willing to help.
