Today marks the 76th anniversary of the "Nakba". Known as "The Catastrophe", the Nakba saw 800,000 Palestinians fled or got pushed out of Israel, after which the state was created in 1948, with their descendants losing their right to return in the process. Palestinians in Gaza are also remembering the Nakba, whilst the on-the ground situation across the Strip has been a matter of life or death for the past months. Looking back at history, some of the Palestinians displaced in Rafah - where more than a million people are sheltering - who lived the 1948 war as children, described the current war and what they are going through today as 'worse'.
