The 1918 Influenza Pandemic in Palestine
Om avsnittet
While the world remembers the Great War, another catastrophe swept through Palestine in 1918: the influenza pandemic. This episode explores how the Spanish flu ravaged the region, intersecting with war, famine, and occupation. We look at the response of Ottoman and British authorities, the impact on Jerusalem and Jaffa, and the role of relief workers from the American Colony. Drawing on contemporary accounts from the Palestine News and diaries of residents, we uncover a forgotten layer of suffering and resilience. How did a pandemic shape the final months of Ottoman rule and the early British Mandate? Join Lucas and Luna as they piece together this overlooked chapter of Palestine's history.
