Palestinians mark Nakba amid mass displacement in Gaza and West Bank
- On the anniversary of the Nakba, communities throughout the Middle East observed the mass displacement that occurred during the 1948 conflict and the continuing violence affecting Gaza and the West Bank.
- The 1948 war created roughly 700,000 refugees, with about 200,000 settling in Gaza, where over 70% of the current population descends from these refugees.
- Recent Israeli military campaigns since October 2023 have flattened much of Gaza, displaced nearly all of its 2.3 million residents, and killed more than 53,000 people amid a blockade barring essential supplies.
- Eighty-One-Year-Old Ghalia Abu Moteir expressed that the current situation represents a Nakba on a larger scale than the one experienced in the past, highlighting the enduring Palestinian concept of sumoud, or steadfast resilience, despite overwhelming challenges.
- The continued violence and displacement heighten fears that Israel aims to forcibly remove Palestinians from Gaza, while humanitarian aid efforts strive to sustain lives amid warnings of widespread famine.
