Each year on May 15th, Palestinians in Palestine and around the world commemorate the Nakba or “catastrophe”—the massive ethnic cleansing of Palestine that was initiated by Zionist militias in 1947 and continues today in many forms.
Since MECA started in 1988, we have stood with Palestinian refugees and their right to return to their land and their homes. We have supported their work to tell their stories, demand their rights and safeguard the lives, well-being and future of new generations growing up in refugee camps in Palestine and neighboring countries.
