Nakba Day, which means "Day of Catastrophe" in Arabic (Arabic: يوم النكبة), is observed annually by Palestinians and their supporters on May 15th. It commemorates the displacement and suffering of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, which led to the establishment of the state of Israel.
The Nakba refers to the mass expulsion and exodus of Palestinians from their homes and land as a result of the 1948 war. Many Palestinians were forced to flee to neighboring countries, while others were internally displaced within what became the state of Israel. The Nakba remains a deeply significant and traumatic event in Palestinian history, shaping the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the quest for Palestinian statehood and rights.
On Nakba Day, Palestinians and their supporters hold rallies, marches, demonstrations, and other events to commemorate the Nakba, honor the memories of those who were displaced or killed, and reaffirm their commitment to the Palestinian cause. It's a day of remembrance, solidarity, and resilience for Palestinians worldwide.
