Displaced Palestinians arrive in central Gaza after fleeing from the southern Gaza city of Rafah in Deir al Balah, Gaza Strip, May 9, 2024
SUPPORTERS of the Palestinian people today marked the anniversary of the mass expulsion from what is now Israel with protests and other events at a time of mounting concern that another Nakba is taking place.
The Nakba, “catastrophe” in Arabic, refers to the 700,000 Palestinians who fled or were driven out of their lands before and during the war surrounding its creation in 1948.
More than twice that number have been displaced within Gaza since the start of the latest war, which was triggered by Hamas’s October 7 attack during which some 1,200 people were killed.
