Israel-Hamas Conflict Enters Second Year, Leaving Devastation on Both Sides
The Israel-Hamas conflict, now in its second year, has left a devastating toll on both sides. Hamas has kidnapped nearly 250 hostages, with 48 still held, including the bodies of at least 28 people. The war has displaced millions and claimed thousands of lives, with a worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
The conflict began two years ago and has since caused widespread destruction. In Gaza, over 67,000 people have been killed, and more than 169,600 injured, with at least 11,000 still missing. Before the war, 36 hospitals were functioning, but now only 22 remain operational, with no fully functioning hospitals left. The crisis has led to severe food shortages, with over 14,000 children acutely malnourished and over 320,000 at risk.
In Israel, about 2,000 people have been killed, including 900 civilians and 913 IDF soldiers, with over 20,000 soldiers injured. More than 100,000 people have been internally displaced. The war has also led to the kidnapping of nearly 250 hostages, with 48 still held in Gaza, including the bodies of at least 28 people no longer believed to be alive. The identities of the living captives are not disclosed for security reasons.
The conflict has caused a catastrophic humanitarian crisis in Gaza, with millions displaced and thousands killed or injured. Despite over 1.8 million tons of aid entering Gaza, aid groups claim Israeli authorities block humanitarian aid, leading to the deaths of nearly 1,900 Palestinians seeking aid since May 27. The international community must press for an end to the conflict and ensure adequate aid reaches those in need.
