The Palestinian population of Gaza, which has more than 2 million people, is going through a catastrophic humanitarian crisis and now largely depends on the limited aid authorized in the territory. Many people have been moved several times.

Hamas sparked the war on October 7, 2023, when fighters stormed southern Israel, killing around 1,200 people and taking 251 people hostage. Fifty people are still retained hostage in Gaza, but less than half would be alive.

The Israeli military offensive killed more than 59,000 Palestinians, according to the Gaza Ministry of Health. His count does not distinguish between combatants and civilians, but the ministry says that more than half of the dead are women and children. The ministry is part of the government of Hamas, but the United Nations and other international organizations consider it the most reliable data on the victims.

Israel and Hamas have led to ceasefire negotiations in Qatar. Israeli Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu said on several occasions that the intensification of Israeli military operations in Gaza would exert pressure on Hamas during negotiations.
