Monday marks the 58th anniversary of the founding of Israel in 1948 - and the expulsion of Palestinians from their land. With millions still living under occupation or in exile, what Palestinians call their 'nakba' remains at the heart of their national identity.

The PNA Spokesperson Minister of Information Dr. Barghouthi held a press conference to brief journalists on the outcome of the weekly PNA cabinet meeting.

In a press conference held today in Ramallah, Minister of Information Dr. Mustafa Barghouthi detailed the Israeli military's most recent violations of Palestinians' human rights, including the shooting of a pregnant Palestinian woman by Israeli soldiers, killing her 7-month-old unborn baby; the shooting of a teenage Palestinian girl by an Israeli sniper; and the demolition of a care home for disabled children in East Jerusalem.

A pregnant Palestinian woman lost her 7-month-old unborn baby today when she was shot in the abdomen by Israeli soldiers whilst in her bedroom. Maha Mohammed Rafat Katouni, aged 29, was hit when the Israeli military fired on her home during a raid on the Ein Beit Ilma neighbourhood in west Nablus in the early hours of Thursday morning. The bullet entered 3 centimetres from her umbilicus, blowing up the baby's head in the womb and hitting the mother's colon.
