History

Historical Context

The humanitarian crisis in Gaza has deep roots, stemming from decades of conflict and occupation. Since the Six-Day War in 1967, Israel has maintained control over Gaza, leading to repeated military confrontations and severe humanitarian conditions. The rise of Hamas in 2007 further complicated the situation, creating a cycle of violence and international condemnation reminiscent of past conflicts, such as the 2014 Gaza War, which also drew global outrage.
