• May 13: An elderly Palestinian man wearing a traditional Arabic headdress attends a ceremony to commemorate the 'nakba,' or the 'catastrophe,' the Arabic term used to describe the uprooting of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians with the 1948 creation of the state of Israel, in the West Bank city of Ramallah. In the West Bank and Gaza, Palestinians staged events to remind the world that Israel's creation has been their 'nakba.' Hundreds of thousands were uprooted during the 1948 war over Israel's creation, and some 4.5 million Palestinian refugees and their descendants are scattered across the region.
