The ongoing war in Gaza, triggered by Hamas’ October 7, 2023, attack on Israel, has resulted in more than 45,500 Palestinian deaths, according to health officials in Gaza. Most of Gaza’s 2.3 million residents have been displaced, and much of the area has been devastated.
In the attack on Israel, 1,200 people were killed, and 251 individuals were taken hostage to Gaza, based on Israeli reports. Here are ten photos from 2024 that show “suffering” due to war:

The war intensified after Hamas launched a large-scale attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, resulting in the deaths of over 1,200 Israelis and the kidnapping of 251 individuals. In retaliation, Israel launched extensive airstrikes and ground operations targeting Hamas infrastructure in Gaza. The conflict has led to significant casualties on both sides, with over 45,500 Palestinians reported dead and widespread destruction in Gaza.
In his first address since the Hamas attack, PM Benjamin Netanyahu vowed retaliation and declared a “state of war”. Netanyahu has also noted that Hamas has made a “grave” mistake by attacking Israel. “Citizens of Israel, we are at war. The enemy will pay an unprecedented price. We will win this war,” PM Netanyahu said.
Earlier on October 20, the United Nations reiterated its demand for an end to the conflict in Gaza, highlighting the urgent need to release hostages, stop the displacement of Palestinians, and ensure the unimpeded delivery of humanitarian assistance.
In a statement released by the UN Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, Tor Wennesland, the UN expressed deep concern, stating, “The nightmare in Gaza is intensifying. Horrifying scenes are unfolding in the northern Strip amidst conflict, relentless Israeli strikes and an ever-worsening humanitarian crisis.”
