More than 4,000 people, according to the government delegation, took to the streets in Madrid to protest against the situation of the Palestinians and to commemorate the Day of Nakba.

More than 750,000 Palestinians were forcibly removed from their ancestral homes in Palestine and 500 villages and towns were destroyed by Zionist militias before the Israeli regime declared its illegal establishment in 1948. Palestinians are still enduring the repercussions of this catastrophe to this day.

The incident is known among Palestinians as the Day of Nakba, or the Day of Catastrophe.
