Overview

  • Israeli airstrikes in Gaza have resulted in widespread hunger and homelessness, with at least 19,000 people killed and more than two thirds of Gaza's 2.3 million inhabitants displaced.
  • Despite efforts to increase aid, the humanitarian crisis in Gaza continues to worsen due to a 'full' blockade enforced by Israel after the Hamas attacks on October 7.
  • Public opinion in the US is divided, with younger voters increasingly critical of Israel's military campaign and sympathetic towards Palestinians.
  • Recent attacks inside a church compound and a school in Gaza, and a raid that shut down one of the last operating hospitals in Gaza City, have heightened concerns about the protection of civilians.
  • Despite mounting international censure, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to continue fighting, describing the war as an existential struggle for survival.
