Is a ‘new Nakba’ happening in Gaza?
Seventy-five years after the Nakba, Palestinians in Gaza worry their future is being taken away too.

On Monday, Palestinians mark the Nakba or the “catastrophe” – their forced expulsion from the land that became the state of Israel. Those living in Gaza say every day is a catastrophe. For the last 16 years, Israel and Egypt have imposed a blockade on Gaza. Travel is heavily controlled, jobs are scarce and the threat of escalation of violence is constant. While older generations still dream of a return to their homeland, the younger generations say their futures have been stolen.
