The Nakba Continues
77 Years of Displacement & Resilience
May 15, 2025, marks the Nakba 77: 77 years since the mass expulsion and dispossession of Palestinians in 1948. But the Nakba is not just a chapter in history; it is an ongoing reality.

From 2023 to 2025, Gaza has faced devastating military assaults. Over 52,000 Palestinians have been killed, entire neighbourhoods destroyed, and hospitals bombed. 85% of Gaza’s population—more than 1.9 million people—have been forcibly displaced. The destruction mirrors the same systematic uprooting of Palestinians that began in 1948.

The Nakba Continues
In 2025, famine looms over Gaza. Access to food, water, medicine, and shelter is weaponized. Aid is blocked. Families have been erased in seconds. Survivors, aid workers, and human rights organizations describe it clearly: this is a modern Nakba.
And yet, through unimaginable suffering, the Palestinian people demonstrate unwavering resilience.
We call on the global community to:
- Recognize the Nakba as an ongoing process of dispossession and denial.
- Stand against the continued siege, bombardment, and displacement in Gaza.
- Support Palestinian rights to return, justice, and liberation
Nakba 77 is not only a day of remembrance. It is a call to solidarity, to awareness, and to action. Join global action and commemorations: marches, vigils, teach-ins, and online campaigns.
Because the Nakba didn’t end. And neither did our hope.
