Palestinians around the world are marking the 65th anniversary of al-Nakba Day - that's Arabic for "The Catastrophe".

It commemorates the loss of Palestinian land because of the founding of the state of Israel in 1948.
Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians fled from their villages or were expelled.
