As the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah intensifies, Palestinians in Gaza are concerned about the future of their plight after nearly a year of devastating war. There is a growing fear of abandonment as international attention shifts away from their suffering.
The ongoing conflict has left approximately 1.9 million Palestinians displaced, with many living in dire conditions in tent camps. The lack of media coverage and global interest in Gaza's situation has exacerbated their sense of isolation.
Ninety percent of Gaza's population is homeless, struggling to access basic necessities like food and clean water. The destruction caused by months of airstrikes and ground assaults has left the region in ruins, with an estimated 60% of buildings damaged.
Israel's retaliatory actions following Hamas' war have resulted in over 41,000 Palestinian deaths and 95,000 injuries, with a significant number of casualties being women and children. The situation is further complicated by the presence of Israeli hostages held in Gaza, adding to the uncertainty and fear among Palestinians.
Efforts to negotiate a ceasefire and address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza have been hampered by the escalating conflict between Israel and Hezbollah. The shifting focus of international actors and the challenges in reaching a consensus on key issues have left Palestinians in Gaza feeling abandoned and forgotten.
The road to rebuilding Gaza is long and arduous, with the United Nations estimating that the removal of rubble alone could take up to 15 years. As diplomatic efforts stall and the conflict persists, the future remains uncertain for the people of Gaza.
