The conflict began after Hamas launched a deadly attack on Israel in October 2023, leading to Israel's military response. Over the past year, Gaza has experienced relentless airstrikes, leading to more than 40,000 deaths, widespread destruction, and severe shortages of food, water, and medical supplies.

Diplomatic efforts have been hampered by ongoing violence, including attacks from Hezbollah in Lebanon, which has broadened the scope of the conflict. Israeli strikes on Gaza have targeted Hamas leadership, but the humanitarian crisis has worsened, with many Gaza residents facing malnutrition and inadequate access to essential services.
