Arabic version: الفلسطينيون يحيون ذكرى 78 عامًا على كارثة النكبة

On May 15, Palestinians across historic Palestine and the diaspora commemorate Nakba Day, marking 78 years since the 1948 events known as the ‘catastrophe.’ This day remembers the massive displacement of Palestinians, as Zionist militias tore through their society and displaced 800,000 people from their homes.

According to Al Jazeera, the Nakba is a significant event in Palestinian history, symbolizing loss and dispossession that continues to resonate today. The origins of this tragedy can be traced back to the actions taken by British authorities, which laid the groundwork for the displacement of Palestinian communities.

Commemorative events take place across historic Palestine and among the diaspora, reflecting the enduring impact of these historical events on Palestinian identity and culture. Nakba Day serves as a reminder of the ongoing struggles faced by Palestinians and their quest for recognition and rights.
