Palestinians Mark Nakba Anniversary

Palestinians are marching to commemorate the. anniversary of al-Nakba (Catastrophe) which refers to  the day when hundreds of thousands of Palestinians were dispossessed by Zionist gangs in 1948 and were displaced in the Middle East and other countries.

Sirens wailed at noon on Thursday in Ramallah and across the West Bank for 66 seconds to symbolize the number of years since the Nakba.

Demonstrations and marches are being held in both the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.

Palestinian refugees in the Gaza Strip and elsewhere refuse to give up the right of return despite decades of displacement.
