History

Historical Context

The 1948 Arab-Israeli War resulted in over 700,000 Palestinians being displaced, significantly altering Gaza's demographics and governance. The establishment of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) that same year aimed to assist these refugees. Today, a $70 billion reconstruction plan reflects ongoing international efforts to stabilize Gaza, highlighting the long-term impacts of historical conflicts on current geopolitical dynamics.
