Today marks the 76th anniversary of the Nakba, the mass expulsion and displacement of Palestinians during Israel's establishment in 1948.
As Palestinians worldwide commemorate this historic event, attention is drawn to the ongoing crisis in Gaza, where over half a million people have been recently displaced due to intense bombardment.
Referred to by many Palestinians as a "second Nakba," the current situation highlights their relentless fight for autonomy and the relentless obstacles in reclaiming their homeland.
Moreover, Israel's offensive has resulted in the death of over 35,000 Palestinians, amplifying the profound tragedy endured by the Palestinian people.

This is your reminder that it didn’t start on October the 7th. The Nakba has been ongoing for 76 years now. The Nakba never ended.

The Nakba is still ongoing since 1948.
