History

Historical Context

The 1948 Arab-Israeli War led to Israel's establishment and the displacement of over 700,000 Palestinians. Since then, humanitarian crises have persisted, exemplified by the current situation where over 56,500 Palestinians have died since October 2023. The ongoing conflict highlights the urgent need for coordinated international aid, as militarized responses often exacerbate humanitarian suffering, echoing historical patterns of violence and neglect.
