History

Historical Context

The 1948 Arab-Israeli War, following the UN's partition plan, resulted in the displacement of approximately 711,000 Palestinians, known as the Nakba. This conflict established enduring territorial disputes and humanitarian crises, leading to the creation of UNRWA for refugee assistance. Ongoing military actions, including recent airstrikes in Gaza, reflect the unresolved tensions that complicate peace efforts and the pursuit of a two-state solution.
