Palestinians Worldwide Commemorate 78th Nakba Day, Demanding Right of Return

Palestinians worldwide mark the 78th Nakba Day, commemorating the 1948 displacement of 700,000–800,000 people and destruction of over 400 villages. The Nakba remains central to Palestinian identity, with millions of refugees still displaced. Ongoing Israeli occupation, settlement expansion, and violence in Gaza and the West Bank are viewed as continuation of this catastrophe. Recent attacks have killed over 72,000 Palestinians since October 2023.
