On the anniversary of the Nakba, Palestinians in Ramallah held marches to honor their mass dispossession during the creation of Israel in 1948, as they also drew parallels to current crises in Gaza and the West Bank. Over 50,000 deaths have been reported in Gaza since October 2023 amid an aid blockade, resulting in further suffering. In Ramallah, commemorative events featured Palestinian symbols, while in Gaza, the situation remains dire with most residents displaced. Israeli military actions and government plans threaten further dislocation of Palestinians, invoking international outrage.
Moamen al-Sherbini, a resident of Khan Younis, expressed the deep sense of loss felt by many in Gaza, saying, 'Our lives here in Gaza have become one long Nakba, losing loved ones, our homes destroyed, our livelihoods gone.'
Commemoration events in Ramallah featured Palestinian flags and young boys carrying a giant key, symbolizing the hope for return to homes lost in Israel.'
This year, as Palestinians gathered to mark the 77th anniversary of the Nakba, over 50,000 lives have been lost in Gaza, emphasizing the ongoing tragedy.
The Israeli security cabinet's approval for an expanded military offensive has sparked international condemnation and raised concerns about the displacement of Palestinian people.
