Al Jazeera reports that more than one-tenth of Gaza's pre-war population has been killed or wounded since Israel launched its war on the strip in October 2023. Almost every family is mourning the dead or caring for the wounded, and most residents have been forced to repeatedly relocate to escape fighting and evacuation orders. With almost the entire population displaced, the Gaza Strip has become one of the world's largest tent cities. Although a 2025 ceasefire agreement halted large-scale offensives and the most intense bombing, Israel continues to regularly attack tents, cars, and buildings, and still prevents most construction materials from entering Gaza, leading to the stagnation of large-scale reconstruction plans.
