The root of the story

A homeland that was…
then a Nakba that did not end

The Nakba is not an event that ended in 1948.
It is a process that continues to this day.

0 villages documented in the archive, whose people were expelled in 1948 and still carry the keys to their homes.

The story is longer than a page… take it with you.

The full Nakba file in Our Palestine App: village by village, massacre by massacre, and a camp that still waits to return.

A record that does not close

Zionist massacres
committed by the occupation against our people

The full massacre record

106 documented massacres that mapped the expulsion. We gather them here by name, because forgetting is a second crime.

Return is a right that refuses to be forgotten

A visual archive — live documentation of an ongoing genocide

The genocide in Gaza
A city erased moment by moment

Gaza is no longer only a place-name. It is the name of a tragedy renewed every day: houses falling on their people, whole families struck from the civil record, and a childhood that grows — if it is allowed to grow — to the sound of bombardment.

  • Living testimonies from the heart of the Strip, in the voices of those who remain
  • Filmed reports documenting massacres and destruction neighbourhood by neighbourhood, house by house
  • An archive kept for history and justice, so that what happened is not denied and those who were killed are not forgotten

“And never think of those who have been killed in the cause of Allah as dead. Rather, they are alive with their Lord, receiving provision.” Qur’an 3:169
