"Gaza Aid Chaos: Lives Lost and Growing Condemnation"

More than 30,000 people have been killed in Gaza in four and a half months of war, with over two-thirds of the total deaths being women and children. The stories of those killed offer a glimpse into the vast human loss, including children who loved playing and learning, young adults with dreams of careers and families, and older individuals who had lived through multiple conflicts. The blockade imposed by Israel and Egypt since 2007 has shaped nearly every aspect of life in Gaza, limiting the movement of goods and making it difficult for many Gazans to leave.
