17 May marks the first Nabka, or ‘catastrophe’, committed in Palestine where many Palestinians were killed and 750,000 were displaced.

Photographer Philip Bohle has compiled another photo essay, this time capturing the spirit of the Nakba Commemoration in Hobart on Saturday. You can also find him on Instagram.
