Palestinians mark the Nakba — and say at this time is worse | DW News

78 years after the mass displacement of Palestinians from what is now Israel, many Gaza residents say the trauma of 1948 is not just a memory — it’s happening again. Each year on May 15, Palestinians mark the Nakba, Arabic for "catastrophe," commemorating the events of 1948, when more than 700,000 people fled or were forced from their homes during the Arab-Israeli war. We ask former Palestinian peace negotiator Omar Dajani whether any road to a political solution still exists.
