It has been one year since Israel responded to Hamas's unprecedented cross-border attack on October 7, 2023, by bombing and invading the coastal Palestinian territory of Gaza. This conflict has brought considerable suffering to the region, and it has significantly altered the lives of its residents. The military actions that ensued have devastated not only the infrastructure but also the very fabric of daily life for the people living there. The implications of this war can be seen in various aspects of Gazan life, making clear the extensive toll such a conflict takes on a civilian population.
