Palestinians Mark 78th Anniversary of Mass Expulsion from Their Homes The 78th anniversary of the Nakba, or "catastrophe", has come and gone, leaving behind a trail of devastation and despair for Palestinians in Gaza.
This year's commemoration marked not just the forced expulsion of over 750,000 Palestinians from their homes in 1948, but also a grim reminder that history has a way of repeating itself.
The village of al Joura, where Yusuf Abu Hamam's family was once forcibly displaced, is now nothing more than a memory.
