Nakba

Nakba, which means "catastrophe" in Arabic, refers to the mass displacement of Palestinian Arabs during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. This event led to the creation of the State of Israel and the displacement of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians from their homes, resulting in a long-standing refugee crisis. The Nakba is a pivotal moment in Middle Eastern history and continues to impact the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to this day.
