Dozens of Palestinian children held a march on May 14, 2009, at the Burj al-Barajneh refugee camp in Lebanon’s Beirut to mark Nakba, when Israel was created on the ruins of Palestine in 1948. Palestinians around the world mark Nakba Day on May 15, as a day of mourning for losing their homeland. The UN agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, defines as refugees the descendants of Palestinians who fled or were forced out of their homes in 1948.
