For Palestinians in refugee camps in Lebanon, each anniversary of “nakba,” or “catastrophe,” is a reminder of the forced mass-displacement and dispossession of homes and land that became Israel in 1948. This year, commemorations on 15 May were limited by renewed conflict between Palestinians and Israeli forces, preventing the annual march towards the Israeli-Lebanese border. Nonetheless, refugees such as Ghassan el-Shouly still gathered to organise a march within Rashidieh camp, frustrated by their lack of right to return to their homeland or many essential professions.
