On May 15, 1948, the British Mandate in Palestine ended and Israel declared independence, while Palestinians commemorate this day as the Nakba (“catastrophe”).
The Nakba refers to the mass displacement of over 700,000 Palestinians, the destruction of hundreds of villages, and the killing of thousands during the establishment of Israel between 1947–1949.
It remains a yearly symbol of Palestinian loss, displacement, and the ongoing struggle for justice and return. #gaza #palestine
