After 16 months of relentless Israeli airstrikes, Rafah in the Gaza Strip lies in ruins despite a newly established ceasefire. This city, housing over a million displaced individuals, faced significant destruction, with 16,000 buildings collapsed and infrastructure devastated. The Rafah crossing with Egypt was critical for humanitarian aid, yet the continual violence resulted in substantial casualties. Israeli troops withdrew from urban areas, coinciding with the military's search for Hamas operatives, highlighting the devastation in a region desperate for stability and support post-conflict.
For nearly 16 months, Israeli airstrikes pounded the Gaza Strip, flattening entire neighborhoods and leveling tens of thousands of structures.
The Rafah crossing with Egypt served as Gaza's lifeline for food, medical supplies and fuel during those months.
