Humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip
The Gaza Strip is devastated by the ongoing war. Israel has cut off humanitarian aid and electricity supplies, worsening the humanitarian crisis. The war broke out after a Hamas attack on Israel in October 2023, and current actions aim to force Hamas to extend the ceasefire.
Israel demands the release of hostages in exchange for a ceasefire, while Hamas wants to end the war. The situation in the Gaza Strip remains tense, and the future of the conflict is uncertain.
