Israel Gaza war: Displaced Palestinians try to build a life amid conflict and chaos

As the Hamas led an attack on Israeli military bases and communities on October 7, Israel launched a ground, air and sea offensive that killed more than 34,000 Palestinians in response, according to Gaza authorities, and has laid much of Gaza to waste. The assault, now in its seventh month, has displaced most of the blockaded Palestinian territory's 2.3 million people and created a humanitarian crisis. (Photo: IANS)
