As the three-year mark of the current conflict in Gaza passes, residents are reflecting on the profound changes to their lives caused by ongoing displacement and destruction. Families from areas such as Beit Hanoun report that their homes have been destroyed, children have been unable to attend school, and many have faced the permanent separation or loss of loved ones.

According to data provided by the Palestinian Ministry of Health, at least 74,000 Palestinians—including 21,500 children—have been killed since October 7, 2023. The report notes that these figures are likely an undercount, as many remain missing or buried under rubble. The humanitarian situation remains dire, with the population grappling with the long-term consequences of the military campaign, including the collapse of educational and residential infrastructure. While the provided report focuses on the Palestinian experience of loss and displacement, it does not provide details regarding the military objectives or the perspectives of Israeli officials regarding the duration or nature of the conflict.
