Today, we mark the 53rd year since the barbaric Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories of the West Bank including East Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip which remained after the colonization that took place in 1948, in addition to the Syrian Golan Heights and the Egyptian Sinai Peninsula. Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians were displaced and had to endure a heavy humanitarian and development calamity. Among them are generations of Palestinians who were compelled to grow up and live in overcrowded and impoverished refugee camps without any prospect for a better life for their children. Seventy-two (72) years have gone by since the Nakba – Catastrophe of 1948 which resulted to the forceful displacement of 950,000 Palestinians and the destruction of 531 villages in addition to the systematic ethnic cleansing.

In the midst of global preoccupation with combating the outbreak of the Coronavirus COVID19, the Israeli forces continue to storm Palestinian cities, assaulting the civilian population, without taking any preventive measures, and completely ignoring the dangers this behavior might cause in light of the spread of the infection in Israel, the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor (Euro-Med) said in a press statement.
The 44th anniversary of Land Day, annually marked with marches and rallies in Arab towns inside Israel, in the occupied Palestinian territories and among diaspora Palestinians, will be celebrated this year with solemn ceremonies during which the Palestinian flag will be hoisted on rooftops in Palestinian cities as the annual marches have been cancelled due to the coronavirus outbreak.
