Throughout the past year, the ongoing conflict in Gaza has brought forth horrific scenes of violence as Israel continues its war on civilians in the besieged enclave. The conflict began with allegations of retaliation between Hamas and Israel, leading to a devastating toll on the people of Gaza.
According to reports by Oxfam and the United Nations, Israel has killed a significant number of women and children in Gaza, surpassing casualties from conflicts over the past two decades. Despite global condemnation, Israel has expanded its attacks to Lebanon, Syria, and Yemen.
Key moments over the past year include significant events such as Hamas’s operation in Israel, Israel’s retaliation, Hezbollah’s involvement, the devastating blast at al-Ahli Hospital, and the start of attacks by the Houthis in the Red Sea. The conflict also witnessed brief pauses in fighting, temporary ceasefires, and escalations leading to mass casualties, displacements, and destruction in Gaza and beyond.
The ongoing conflict has drawn in multiple parties and resulted in widespread suffering and loss of life. As the situation continues to evolve, the impacts of the conflict on the people in the region remain dire.
