Since the late 1990s, the phrase "ongoing Nakba" (Arabic: al-nakba al-mustamirra) has emerged to describe the "continuous experience of violence and dispossession" faced by the Palestinian people. This term emphasizes that the Nakba is not merely an event in 1948, but an ongoing process that continues to the present day.

The most important long-term implications of the Nakba for the Palestinian people were the loss of their homeland, the fragmentation and marginalization of their national community, and their transformation into a stateless people.
