The root of the story
The Nakba is not an event that ended in 1948.
It is a process that continues to this day.
The Nakba is a term referring to the mass forced displacement in 1948 of over 750,000 Palestinians from their lands and homes.Seventy four years ago; the Zionist movement, with support from Britain, succeeded in forcefully seizing control of the majority of Palestine through armed means and thus declaring the establishment of Israel.
The story is longer than a page… take it with you.
The full Nakba file in Our Palestine App: village by village, massacre by massacre, and a camp that still waits to return.
A record that does not close
101 documented massacres that mapped the expulsion. We gather them here by name, because forgetting is a second crime.
A visual archive — live documentation of an ongoing genocide
Gaza is no longer only a place-name. It is the name of a tragedy renewed every day: houses falling on their people, whole families struck from the civil record, and a childhood that grows — if it is allowed to grow — to the sound of bombardment.
A memory that cannot be folded away
They are not numbers in a passing headline. Names, faces, and stories that deserve to be told and kept — we remember them so memory is not erased.
“And never think of those who have been killed in the cause of Allah as dead. Rather, they are alive with their Lord, receiving provision.”Qur’an 3:169
