An art installation on the ground depicting Palestine under the British mandate is seen in Gaza City during celebrations marking the 60th anniversary of the 'Nakba' (catastrophe) on May 13, 2008. As Israel celebrates its 60th anniversary, Palestinians commemorate the Nakba, the expulsion of some 700,000 people during the 1948 war, an event that for them is the core of the decades-old Middle East conflict.
