October 7, 2025, marked two years since the Israel-Hamas conflict began in Gaza. What started as a sudden outbreak of violence on Oct 7, 2023, has left the region forever changed.
Official figures from the health ministry in the Hamas-controlled territory, considered credible by the United Nations, record at least 67,160 Palestinian lives lost. Each number represents a person, a family, a story cut short. 💔
Entire neighborhoods have been reduced to rubble. Schools, hospitals and homes lie in ruins, described by residents as feeling 'as if erased from the map.' The landscape of Gaza has been transformed beyond recognition.
Amid the wreckage, survivors share tales of resilience. Communities rally to support one another, sharing resources and hope. These human stories remind us that even in the darkest times, solidarity shines through.
Two years on, the world watches and remembers. As young people across Latin America and beyond, we can stay informed and amplify voices calling for peace and rebuilding. 🙏
