About our Gaza news
Latest news on Gaza, providing comprehensive coverage of Israel-Hamas war, humanitarian crisis, ceasefire developments and regional tensions in Middle East.
Gaza, a Palestinian territory of 2.3 million people, has been at the center of major international attention since October 2023, when Hamas's attack on Israel and Israel's subsequent military response sparked what has become one of the deadliest conflicts in the region's recent history. The crisis has resulted in over 46,000 Palestinian deaths and nearly 2 million displaced persons.
The most recent developments include a ceasefire agreement reached between Israel and Hamas on 15 January 2025, implemented on 19 January. The deal includes provisions for hostage releases, prisoner exchanges, and increased humanitarian aid access. The United Nations reports unprecedented levels of destruction across Gaza, with over half of its buildings damaged or destroyed and a severe humanitarian crisis affecting the civilian population.
The human impact of the conflict has been devastating. Hospitals, schools, and essential infrastructure have been severely damaged. International aid organisations report critical shortages of food, water, and medical supplies. The World Health Organization warns of potential disease outbreaks and famine conditions. Humanitarian workers face significant challenges in delivering aid, with several aid workers killed during the conflict.
The current situation stems from decades of complex regional tensions. Gaza has been under an Israeli-Egyptian blockade since 2007 when Hamas took control of the territory. The region has experienced multiple conflicts since then, but the current war represents the most intense period of fighting and destruction in Gaza's recent history.
