In the wake of ongoing horrific conflict between Israel and Hamas reports indicate that a staggering 25,000 Palestinian children have been left orphaned since October 2023
The war between Israel and Palestine had started years ago however the conflict took a devastating turn in October 2023. The Israeli airstrikes attacked the homeland of Gazans claiming thousands of lives and millions of injuries.

The attacks became severe in November when Israelis started attacking the hospitals and even denied any entry of humanitarian aid in the city. Gazans faced a complete blackout and blockage of essential supplies like water and food. The situation worsened as the hospitals ran out of oxygen and anesthesia which called for widespread attention worldwide
As the conflict entered the third month the United Nations had called for an immediate Ceasefire to address the humanitarian concerns in Gaza. The call for a ceasefire faced extreme challenges as the United States voted against the resolution
The conflict marked by airstrikes and bombings has taken a heavy toll on innocent lives with children being the most vulnerable victims. With families torn apart, many orphans find themselves in trauma as they see their parents dying in front of them
