History

Historical Context

The current humanitarian crisis in Gaza reflects a long history of conflict and suffering. Since Israel's occupation began in 1967, Gaza has faced repeated military assaults and severe blockades, leading to widespread poverty and healthcare collapse. Previous conflicts, such as the 2014 Gaza War, exacerbated these conditions, prompting international calls for humanitarian access, similar to the current demands from France, Germany, and the UK.
