US EditionPalestinians mark Nakba amid mass displacement in Gaza and West Bank
- On May 15, 2025, Palestinians observed Nakba Day amid widespread displacement resulting from ongoing Israeli military campaigns across Gaza and the West Bank.
- The displacement follows Israel's large-scale campaigns launched after Hamas's October 7, 2023 attack, forcing over 436,000 people in Gaza and more than 40,000 in the West Bank from their homes.
- Refugee camps in Jenin and Tulkarm in the West Bank have become ghost towns without functioning infrastructure, while Gaza remains almost entirely uninhabitable due to ongoing bombardments.
- More than 1.9 million people, about 90% of Gaza's population, have been displaced, with UN officials calling Israel's plans for Gaza 'ethnic cleansing.'
- The events underline the persistent ramifications of the 1948 Nakba as Palestinians reaffirm their right of return while facing worsening humanitarian conditions and international calls for resolution.
