This week marks the two-year anniversary of the Gaza war that began on October 7, 2023. After 24 months of relentless bombardment, mass displacement and a crippling siege, Gaza’s landscape and its people have been forever changed.
Data reveals a heartbreaking truth: 83% of those killed are civilians 😢—one of the highest civilian casualty rates in modern conflict. Homes have turned to rubble and the line between combat zones and civilian areas has blurred.
Gaza is now at the heart of a severe humanitarian crisis ⚠️. With food reserves nearly exhausted, many families struggle to find their next meal 🍞. For pregnant women and newborns, the situation is dire: a collapsed healthcare system 🏥 is resulting in catastrophic birth outcomes, threatening an entire generation.
Hospitals face critical shortages of medicine, equipment and staff, leaving tens of thousands without basic care. Experts warn that if the crisis persists, its impact will echo for decades.
As the world marks two years of this conflict, the urgent question remains: how can international communities help Gaza rebuild and secure a future for its people?
