On May 15, 1948, some 750,000 Palestinians were expelled into refugee camps that still exist in the West Bank, Gaza, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon following the creation of the State of Israel in 1948. 

Since then, Palestinians have annually commemorated the Nakba, which means "exodus" in Arabic, to reaffirm their right to return to their homes and villages in historic Palestine.
