Historical Context

The 2014 Gaza War, initiated by Israel on July 8, resulted in over 2,200 Palestinian deaths, predominantly civilians, and displaced approximately 500,000 people. This conflict marked a significant escalation in the ongoing Gaza-Israel tensions, rooted in decades of conflict since the 1948 Arab-Israeli War.
