Palestinians hold Gaza protest against Israeli forced displacement

Palestinians took to the streets of Gaza City on Monday to protest against Israeli expulsion orders aimed at clearing the war-torn city of its residents.

The rally - called the "March of Shrouds" - was organised by the national gathering of tribes and families, with the participation of medical staff.

Under the slogan of "Displacement from Gaza only towards the sky," a message that has indicated defiance even in the face of death and destruction, thousands protested what would be the largest displacement since the Nakba. 

The Nakba, or catastrophe, refers to the ethnic cleansing of Palestine by Zionist militias to make way for the creation of Israel in 1948.

Protesters chanted slogans rejecting displacement and held signs reading: "We will not be displaced. Stop our extermination."
