The Israeli-Palestinian conflict escalated in 2023 with an Israeli offensive in Gaza, triggered by a Hamas attack on Israeli territory.
Israel’s retaliation for the attack on October 7, 2023, which left 1,200 dead and 251 hostages, caused more than 67,000 deaths and 170,000 injuries, most of them civilians, according to data from the Gaza Ministry of Health (managed by Hamas), which the UN considers credible.
The Israeli offensive also destroyed almost all of Gaza’s infrastructure and caused the forced displacement of hundreds of thousands of people.
Israel is also still blocking the delivery of humanitarian aid in the enclave, where more than 400 people have already died from malnutrition and hunger, most of them children.
