Youth brought smiles to the faces of children in war-torn Gaza by interacting with animals

The socio-economic impact of the ongoing conflict in Gaza is profound and multifaceted, affecting every aspect of life in the region. Years of violence, military operations, and the subsequent blockade have led to a humanitarian crisis with dire consequences for the population’s well-being. The destruction of infrastructure, homes, and businesses has rendered many families homeless and reliant on aid, significantly affecting their quality of life. Generations have grown up in conditions of instability, and these factors have long-lasting implications for the psychological and social fabric of the community.
