Palestinians mark 72nd "Nakba Day" at home due to COVID-19

Palestinian refugee Mahmoud Abu Deeb, 83, a former fighter from the village of Beersheba, holds an old rifle with his grandchildren outside his home in Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza strip, on Friday, May 15, 2020. Abu Deeb is marking the 72nd anniversary of "Nakba" (Day of Catastrophe), while at home due to the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic. The "Nakba" commemorates the mass displacement of more than 700,000 Palestinians who fled or were expelled from their homes in the 1948 war surrounding Israel's creation. Photo by Ismael Mohamad/UPI
