Gaza, Palestine, 15 May 2019. Palestinian paramedics assist and rescue wounded demonstrators in clashes with the Israeli forces during the 71 st anniversary of Nakba Day or "Day of the Catastrophe" at Abu Safiya, in the northern Gaza Strip. Since 30 March last year, paramedics in Gaza have been on the frontline risking their lives by providing vital medical assistance to wounded Palestinians demonstrating along the Gaza-Israeli border. During this Wednesday's rally dozens of Gazans were injured by Israeli forces which used live fire, rubber bullets, tear gas, and skunk spray (sewage water) to disperse the demonstrators, who also expressed their rejection to the US "Deal of the Century" in regard to the Palestinian cause. Nakba Day or "catastrophe" refers to the displacement of Palestinians following the establishment of the State of Israel in Palestine. More than 750,000 Palestinians were expelled and displaced into refugee camps that still exist in Gaza, the West Bank, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria, following the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948. In the Gaza Strip, more than two third of the 2 million residents are refugees from the 1948 Arab-Israeli War and they still live in overcrowded refugee camps across the Strip
