Nakba


Nakba Day, meaning "day of the catastrophe",is an annual day of commemoration for the Palestinian people of the anniversary of the creation of Israel. It is held every May 15, the day after the anniversary of Israel's Independence. The day marks the expulsions and flight of Palestinians from their towns and villages in the face of Jewish and later Israeli troop advances, their displacement from Palestine, and the loss of their property.
