<div class="field field-field-text"><p>Some 250,000 protestors marched in London to commemorate the 78th anniversary of the Nakba on Saturday, according to organisers.</p>
<p>The event marks the anniversary of the expulsion of 750,000 Palestinians and the killing of 13,000 others in 1948, when Zionist militias occupied Palestinian territory to establish the state of Israel.</p>
<p>It was organised by a coalition of groups, including the Palestine Solidarity Campaign and Stop the War and is part of a series of marches that have been organised in protest of Israel's genocidal war in Gaza since October 2023.</p>
