Gaza Strip - December 24, 2024 As the latest round of the Israel-Hamas conflict has prolonged for more than one year, Israeli airstrikes and shelling have caused extensive destruction, significant civilian casualties and widespread forced displacement in the Gaza Strip, particularly in areas like Khan Younis and Rafah. Heavily affected by Israeli military operations, Palestinians are mourning the loss of their loved ones and grappling with the devastating aftermath on a daily basis. Those injured in Israeli air strikes and shelling often face limited access to medical care due to the ongoing conflict, which makes their recovery even more challenging. In addition, the Israeli air strikes on the besieged enclave have also resulted in catastrophic damage to local infrastructure. It is estimated that approximately 80 percent of Gaza's infrastructure has been destroyed or severely damaged so far due to the intensified bombardment, including critical civilian infrastructure such as residential buildings, health care facilities, electricity and water supply, schools and educational buildings, roads and bridges, and public services and government buildings. The scale of destruction has triggered widespread humanitarian concerns, as the blockade and the ongoing air strikes together make it increasingly difficult for the international community to provide the necessary aid to those affected. The humanitarian and reconstruction needs in Gaza are overwhelming, as thousands of lives have been lost, countless families have been displaced, and much of Gaza's infrastructure has been destroyed. The road for the Gaza Strip to recovery will be long and challenging, and Palestinians will require substantial international assistance to rebuild their homes, their life, and their future. Moreover, achieving a permanent settlement to the Israeli-Hamas conflict must address the political and human rights issues, without which lasting peace and stability in the region remain elusive.
