Colorized photos of the #Nakba ("Catastrophe"), when between 750,000 and 1 million Palestinians were displaced from their land and homes in historical Palestine during Israel's creation in 1948. 
As thousands of their fellow Palestinians were slaughtered by Israel forces around them, Palestinian families fled in terror to neighbouring countries and to the West Bank and Gaza.
Today there are over 7 million Palestinian refugees and displaced people, including Nakba survivors and their descendants. Israel still refuses to allow them to return to the land they were forced from, despite the internationally-recognized legal right of return.
But the Nakba didn't end in 1948. It has continued to this day, as the state of Israel continues to steal and occupy Palestinian land.
