Deep dives

Israel's war on Gaza and the devastating impact

Israel's war on Gaza has resulted in thousands of deaths, injuries, and the destruction of homes, schools, and vital infrastructure. The civilian population in Gaza remains extremely vulnerable, with limited access to basic necessities like food, water, and medical care. The World Health Organization estimates increased risks for childbirth complications and maternal and newborn deaths. This ongoing humanitarian crisis is a direct result of Israel's policy of collective punishment.
