Deep dives
Impact of the Ongoing Conflict in Gaza
The war in Gaza has led to unprecedented destruction and humanitarian crisis, with a staggering loss of life and basic needs almost entirely unmet. Reports indicate that the availability of drinkable water is severely lacking, with more blood shed than clean water in the region. Food supplies are critically insufficient, and hospitals face dire evacuations or attacks, contributing to a landscape where safety is virtually nonexistent. The devastation rivals any historical conflict, marking a profound moment of suffering for the local population, and raising serious concerns about the future of the area once hostilities cease.
