"The devastating war in Gaza has entered its third year, standing as Israel's longest war since the 1948 conflict that led to the country's creation. The majority of those killed by Israel's offensive in the strip have been civilians, and the overall total now exceeds 67,000. Entire families have been wiped out in a single airstrike. Sometimes, only a single individual, frequently a child, is left alive. There are also nearly 170,000 injured."
"Those killed by untreated illnesses, poor nutrition, suicide or other causes linked to the conflict are more numerous still. Thousands of people have simply disappeared lost, incinerated or blown apart by explosions, or held in secret detention by Israel. Israel has controlled and restricted supplies going into Gaza throughout the conflict but imposed a total blockade of supplies from March to May 2025, saying that Hamas was stealing assistance to pay for its military operations."
The conflict in Gaza has entered its third year and is Israel's longest war since 1948. Israeli offensive actions have killed more than 67,000 people, most of them civilians, and injured nearly 170,000. Casualties equal roughly 10% of Gaza's pre-war population of 2.3 million, with many deaths uncounted under rubble and from war-linked illnesses, malnutrition, or suicide. Thousands have disappeared, been incinerated, blown apart, or held in secret detention. Israel imposed and later eased a blockade, including a total blockade from March to May 2025, contributing to famine declarations in parts of Gaza. The violence has destroyed cities and displaced almost the entire population.
