History

Historical Context

The establishment of Israel in 1948 triggered the Arab-Israeli conflict, displacing over 700,000 Palestinians. Recent escalations, including a coordinated attack by Hamas on October 7, 2023, have intensified humanitarian crises, with reports of one child dying every hour in Gaza. This ongoing violence highlights the urgent need for international intervention and a sustainable ceasefire to address the long-standing grievances in the region.
