“The Israeli government has killed tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians and injured many tens of thousands more. Gaza’s civilian infrastructure has been destroyed, its health care system is in ruins, and the people are living in unsafe, unsanitary conditions. Almost everyone in Gaza faces acute food insecurity, and at least half a million people live in man-made famine conditions. Disease is rampant, and even polio has returned to paralyze Palestinian children. Virtually the entire population of Gaza has been displaced from their homes, and the majority of those homes has been destroyed. … Even when the fighting stops, there will be no safe place for millions of people to go. The process of clearing the rubble will be long and dangerous. It will be even longer before rebuilding can begin, and that is assuming that there will be sufficient funding for reconstruction.” (08/28/24)
