  58

An Arabic term meaning disaster or catastrophe, which refers precisely to the human disaster that resulted in the Palestinian exodus at the time of the creation of the State of Israel. More than 700. 000 Palestinians had to flee the lands where they had been living historically on the occasion of the Jewish invasion. The date or day of the nakba was May 15, 1948 and that is why every May 15th such a sad catastrophe is commemorated.
