Three years after Hamas's 7 October 2023 attack on southern Israel, which killed about 1,200 people, Gaza's roughly 2.3 million Palestinians are still living in tents and ruins, with shortages of clean water, food and healthcare and widespread infectious disease. Israeli airstrikes have continued despite last October's ceasefire, raising the death toll by about 1,400 to more than 73,000, while US President Donald Trump's plan for a lasting settlement has stalled over Hamas's disarmament, Israeli withdrawal and reconstruction. Residents describe an existence of "neither war nor peace", and the UN warns that funding gaps and restrictions on aid are hampering preparations for winter, though Israel says over 600 trucks enter Gaza daily.
