Today, Palestinians mark the 71st anniversary of the Nakba, or 'the catastrophe', to commemorate the displacement of some 750,000 Palestinians in 1948
On May 15, 1948, some 750,000 Palestinians were expelled into refugee camps that still exist in the West Bank, Gaza, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon following the creation of the State of Israel in 1948.
Palestinians hold up paper cutouts of the keys to their homes during a rally in Ramallah commemorating their displacement in 1948. A wounded Palestinian boy is evacuated during a protest marking the 71st anniversary of the Nakba at the Israel-Gaza border fence. Palestinian medics carry a wounded demonstrator east of Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip. Thirty Gazans were reportedly injured Wednesday as Israeli security forces used live fire in this year's protests marking the Nakba.
