History

Historical Context

The humanitarian crisis in Gaza has roots in the Israeli blockade initiated in 2007, which has severely restricted essential supplies. Past conflicts, notably the 2014 Gaza war, exacerbated these conditions, leading to repeated warnings from international organizations about the dire situation. Historical patterns show that without sustained global intervention, the cycle of starvation and disease in Gaza is likely to continue, risking further instability in the region.
