Historical Context

The establishment of Israel in 1948 led to significant displacement and ongoing conflict, contributing to humanitarian crises in the region. As of 2025, over 500,000 people in Gaza face extreme hunger amid a blockade that restricts aid. The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation began operations in May 2025, but its controversial methods have drawn criticism, highlighting the persistent struggle for Palestinian statehood and international recognition.
