Palestinians mark the 64th anniversary of the 'Nakba' (23 images)

Palestinians commemorate the 64th anniversary of the "Nakba," Arabic for "Catastrophe," the term used to mark the events leading to Israel's founding in 1948.

Palestinians look at a map showing parts of British Mandate Palestine during a rally ahead of Nakba on May 9, 2012 in Gaza City. On May 15, Palestinians will mark Nakba, or catastrophe, the anniversary of Israel's founding in the 1948 war, when hundreds of thousands of their brethren fled or were forced to leave their homes.
