The march, which started from the Yasser Arafat mausoleum, ended in Manara Square.
The symbol of forced migration, looting and massacres for millions of Palestinians who have lived in exile for decades, the "Nakba" expresses a pain that has not ceased for 75 years.
The Palestinians call the day "Nakba", which means "Great Disaster", when Israel was founded on May 14, 1948, on the historical Palestinian lands, when they were subjected to forced migration and massacres.
Millions of Palestinians who are still under occupation and blockade and living as refugees dream of returning to their homeland on the 75th anniversary of the Nakba.
Israeli forces forcibly displaced and exiled nearly 1 million Palestinians during the Nakba and 675 Palestinian villages and towns were destroyed. Zionist gangs carried out more than 70 massacres and more than 15 thousand Palestinians lost their lives.
