Palestinians vowed on Sunday that they will resolutely defend their lands and never abandon them despite the relentless conflict in the Gaza Strip.
They made the pledge one day ahead of the 50th anniversary of Land Day, a pivotal moment in their struggle for land and rights.
The annual observance carries particular weight this year as the Gaza Strip has endured nearly two and a half years of war.
Over the past week, Israeli airstrikes, shelling, and ground operations have continued to cause civilian casualties in Gaza, while restrictions on aid access have left basic supplies in the area far from enough to meet the urgent needs.
The situation there has grown more dire as the ongoing U.S.-Israeli war with Iran has drawn global attention away from Gaza, with humanitarian aid to the enclave significantly reduced and the population there increasingly isolated.
Despite the deteriorating conditions, Palestinians in Gaza have reaffirmed their determination, saying they will steadfastly defend their lands no matter how hunger, destruction, death, or suffering may come one after another.
"Our people have proven over the past decades that we are a people deeply rooted in our land," said Mohammed, a displaced resident in Gaza.
"We are currently facing an extremely difficult situation. The war has been going on for nearly two and a half years, and we are enduring killing and destruction in the Gaza Strip. Nevertheless, we remain steadfast on this land, and we will continue to convey this message: we will steadfastly protect this land and never abandon it," said Ahmed, another displaced resident.
On March 30, 1976, Israeli soldiers killed six unarmed Palestinians during demonstrations in protest of an Israeli decision to confiscate about 21,000 dunams (2,100 hectares) of lands in the Galilee and the Negev areas.
Since then, Palestinians have designated this day as the Land Day to mark the sacrifices of the Palestinian people's lives in defending their lands.
