Amid escalating international outcry for a ceasefire, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu is determined to seize Gaza City. The humanitarian crisis deepens, with over 200 deaths linked to malnutrition.

History

Historical Context

The 1948 Arab-Israeli War resulted in the establishment of Israel and the displacement of over 700,000 Palestinians, leading to the creation of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) to assist refugees. Since then, ongoing conflicts, including the current Gaza war that began in October 2023, have exacerbated humanitarian crises, with over 61,000 Palestinians reported killed and severe food insecurity affecting millions.
