History

Historical Context

Following the 2005 Abbas-Sharon cease-fire and Hamas’s 2007 takeover that led to Israel’s blockade, the 2008-2009 Gaza war killed roughly 1,400 Palestinians and crippled aid flows. The conflict’s humanitarian collapse set a precedent; today UN agencies warn that civilian casualties and aid shortages echo the same pattern first seen in that war.
