Palestinians are marking 76 years since the Nakba, when they lost their homeland and the state of Israel was created.
More than 750,000 people were forcibly evicted from their homes.

Now Palestinians are facing a new catastrophe as Israeli forces are pushing deeper into Gaza's north and south as some of the most intense fighting in weeks rages on.
It's forced more than 450,000 Palestinians to flee from the south of the strip.

The US is set to send Israel a new weapons package worth a billion dollars if it is approved by Congress.
It comes after President Joe Biden delayed a shipment of bombs earlier this month, over concerns about the rising civilian death toll in Gaza.

Gershon Baskin is the Middle East Director at the NGO, the International Communities Organisation. He's also a former hostage negotiator.
He says that a new, more brutal Nakba is unfolding in Gaza, one with more advanced weapons.
