Gaza's humanitarian crisis forgotten amid US-Iran conflict

other · 2026-07-04

The Gaza Strip remains in a severe humanitarian crisis as international attention shifts to the US-Iran conflict. Palestinian Ahmed Jamali, 53, told AFP from a displacement camp that the world has forgotten Gaza's tragedy. The war began with Hamas's October 7, 2023 attack on Israel, triggering a devastating military response in Gaza and drawing in Hezbollah, Houthi rebels, and eventually Iran. What started as a local conflict evolved into a regional confrontation between Washington and Tehran, leaving Gaza's fate unresolved.
