Who bears most responsibility for Gaza's humanitarian crisis?
The UN agency aiding Gaza was meant to be temporary in 1949.
UNRWA was created after the 1948 Arab-Israeli war to provide short-term relief to ~750,000 displaced Palestinians. Now 75+ years old, it serves over 5.9 million registered refugees across Gaza, the West Bank, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria.
Gaza is among the world's most densely populated territories
With over 2 million people in ~365 sq km, aid blockages hit harder here than almost anywhere on Earth. Explore the crisis at BBC News
Gaza's destruction rivals some of WWII's most devastated cities.
UN satellite agency UNOSAT found ~60% of structures in Gaza damaged or destroyed by mid-2024. Warsaw, one of WWII's most ravaged cities, saw ~85% of its buildings destroyed by 1945.
