Palestinian solidarity groups across Australia, including in Adelaide, are holding a national day of commemoration for the Nakba on Saturday 13 May 2023 to mark 75 years since the Nakba of 1948. See Adelaide remembrance events.
Palestinians around the world mark the ‘Nakba’, or ‘Catastrophe’, referring to the ethnic cleansing that occurred in 1948, resulting in the loss of the Palestinian homeland, with 80% of Palestinians made refugees and 20% displaced.
