Millions of Palestinians Mark 78 Years Since the Nakba Millions of Palestinians around the world have marked the 78th anniversary of the Nakba, a poignant reminder of the systematic dispossession and displacement that continues to define their lives.
The term "catastrophe" is an understatement for the events that unfolded in 1948, when Zionist paramilitary groups captured towns and villages, forcing some 750,000 Palestinians from their homes.
The impact of the Nakba still resonates today, with more than two million people confined to a fraction of the Gaza Strip.
