The truth of the devastation in Gaza: People walking amidst the debris and two years of war, see painful pictures

Recent pictures of Gaza city show that Palestinians have to walk through debris every day. The two-year-old fighting has almost completely destroyed roads, homes and markets, making life very difficult for ordinary people.

On October 7, 2023, a Hamas attack killed 1,221 Israelis, prompting Israel to launch retaliatory attacks that devastated Gaza. According to the United Nations, more than 69,000 Palestinians have lost their lives in this fighting.

92% of the houses in Gaza have been completely destroyed, forcing millions of people to live in camps or temporary shelters. Constant relocation has made safety, education and daily life almost impossible for families.

The debris seen in the pictures not only shows broken buildings, but also broken dreams and shattered lives. People are struggling to find the essentials of daily life – water, food, medicine and shelter.

Israel claims that the purpose of its action is to destroy Hamas’ infrastructure and ensure security, while the Palestinian side calls it collective punishment and humanitarian devastation. Between these two claims, common people are paying the heaviest price.

The United Nations and international aid agencies are warning that Gaza is facing a deep humanitarian crisis. Closed medical facilities, shortage of food and less relief supplies have made the situation worse.

People wading through the debris reflects the reality of Gaza today – a place where fear, hunger and insecurity are a daily reality. The hope for an end to war and the need for reconstruction is greater than ever.
