Ramallah - Saba:
The Palestinian people in Palestine and the Diaspora on Wednesday commemorate the 77th anniversary of the Nakba under the slogan: "We will not leave... Palestine belongs to the Palestinians..." Rejecting the crime of genocide and forced displacement, defending inalienable national rights, and in light of the ongoing targeting of the refugee issue, the camps, and UNRWA.
According to the Palestinian News Agency (WAFA), for the second year in a row, the Nakba commemoration comes at a very exceptional time, given the unprecedented catastrophic conditions the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip are experiencing due to the ongoing Israeli aggression, which has lasted 583 days. This is a scene reminiscent of the bloody massacres perpetrated by the Israeli enemy in displaced Palestinian villages and towns.
The daily scene in the West Bank is also marked by bloodshed. The Israeli aggression machine almost ceases its almost daily raids, destruction, killing, displacement, and arrests, accompanied by abuse, against Palestinian cities and villages.
This is particularly evident in the ongoing aggression on the Tulkarm and Jenin refugee camps, which has resulted in the deaths and injuries of dozens, the displacement of more than 40,000 from their homes, and the systematic destruction of infrastructure.
Large Palestinian crowds commemorate the Nakba at a central festival in central Ramallah
Large crowds of Palestinians participated in the central festival, which began in front of the tomb of the late martyr Yasser Arafat and proceeded to Al-Manara Square. The Palestinian flag, black banners, and keys of return were raised during the march.
Participating in the march, called for by the Department of Refugee Affairs and the Palestinian Higher National Committee to Commemorate the Nakba, were members of the Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and the Central Committee of the Fatah Movement, members of the Revolutionary Council, national action factions, a number of ministers, and representatives of official and popular institutions and civil society organizations.
