History

Historical Context

The Gaza War, which escalated on October 7, 2023, following a surprise attack by Hamas, has resulted in over 70,000 Palestinian deaths and widespread destruction. The conflict's roots trace back to the 2006 election of Hamas, leading to a blockade that has severely restricted aid. As of 2021, the humanitarian crisis continues, with only 459 aid trucks entering Gaza daily, insufficient for the needs of its 2.3 million residents.
