The Human and Physical Toll of 15 Months of War in Gaza

After 15 months of intense conflict between Israel and Hamas, Gaza has been left in a state of devastation, with reports indicating a staggering death toll potentially exceeding 47,000. Survivors are digging through the rubble to recover bodies, with authorities estimating that over 10,000 may still be buried beneath the ruins. A UN official has stated that rebuilding Gaza will take an extensive amount of time and effort, potentially requiring $80 billion to restore what has been lost. Satellite images reveal the stark transformation of the region, showcasing entire blocks razed to the ground. As Gazans confront the landscape of destruction and begin the difficult task of recovery and burial, the long-term impacts of this conflict continue to unfold. The international community remains cautious, with Gulf states hesitant to provide immediate financial aid for reconstruction efforts.
