In Ramallah, the headquarters of the Palestinian Authority (PA), hundreds of Palestinians gathered in the city centre to commemorate the anniversary, while mosques across the city sounded a 78-second siren, a symbolic reference to the 78th anniversary of the Nakba.
A mass march started from the grave of the late Palestinian President Yasser Arafat towards Manara Square, during which participants raised Palestinian flags and played drums, while scout music and bagpipes played in the streets that were filled with crowds.
