COMMEMORATION OF AL NAKBA 68
A CELEBRATION OF PALESTINIAN CULTURE & RESISTANCE
Al Nakba is Arabic and means “the catastrophe”. This event is to commemorate the 1948 displacement and dispossession of Palestinians from their homes and lands, creating the longest-standing refugee crisis in the world.
For 68 years, Palestinians have experienced Al Nakba, and for 68 years Palestinians have resisted, working for peace and justice.
