Israel's Gaza Conquest

Israel aims to decisively conquer Gaza, risking the displacement of 90% of its 2.1 million residents amid worsening humanitarian crises.

The 1948 Arab-Israeli War displaced around 700,000 Palestinians, leading to ongoing territorial and humanitarian conflicts. The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) was established to assist Palestinian refugees. Today, as Israel's actions in Gaza threaten to displace 90% of its 2.1 million residents, the humanitarian crisis highlights the urgent need for international intervention to prevent further suffering.
