In a tragic turn of events, Dr. Marwan Sultan, the director of the Indonesian Hospital in Gaza, lost his life in an Israeli strike, along with his family.

History

Historical Context

The Gaza-Israel conflict, rooted in the 1948 establishment of Israel, has led to the displacement of over 700,000 Palestinians, many settling in Gaza. Since then, Israel has engaged in multiple wars, with the ongoing violence resulting in over 50,000 Palestinian deaths since October 2023. This enduring crisis highlights the urgent need for a sustainable peace agreement to address territorial and humanitarian issues.
