Nakba Day: What happened on the disastrous day in the history of Palestine.
Today, Monday, May 15, 2023, coincides with the 75th anniversary of the barbaric crime committed by Zionist groups against the Palestinian people, which eventually led to the occupation of their land and the displacement of a large number of them.
75 years ago on May 15, 1948, Zionist criminal groups and organizations committed a brutal crime against the Palestinian nation and occupied their land; A crime that became known as Nakbat Day.
At that time, the Zionist occupiers committed more than 70 barbaric crimes against the Palestinian nation, during which more than 531 cities and villages were destroyed, 774 other villages were captured by the occupiers, and more than 800,000 Palestinians were displaced from their land and homes.
According to the report of the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics, despite the displacement of more than 800,000 Palestinians in 1948 and the departure of more than 200,000 others to Jordan after the 1967 war, the total population of Palestinians has reached about 14 million by the end of 2021. This indicates a 10-fold increase in their population since the Nakbat disaster.
This report states that more than half of the Palestinian population, about 7 million people, live in the historical land of Palestine, of which 1.7 million live in the occupied territories of 1948, 3.02 million live in the occupied West Bank and Quds, and about 2.02 million people live in the Gaza Strip.
