History

Historical Context

The 1948 Arab-Israeli War initiated a long-standing conflict, displacing around 700,000 Palestinians and leading to the establishment of the UNRWA for refugee aid. Since Hamas took control of Gaza in 2007, Israel's blockade has exacerbated humanitarian crises, with over 60,000 Palestinians killed in the latest conflict beginning in October 2023, highlighting the ongoing struggle for peace and accountability in the region.
