Gaza, Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT)

Since the conflict began in October 2023, people have endured devastating losses: loved ones, homes, schools, entire communities. In April 2024, a UN team visited Khan Younis and reported widespread destruction. Every building visited was damaged, paved roads were reduced to dirt tracks and unexploded ordnance lay in main intersections and schools. The few remaining residents face severe shortages of food, water and health care, with the destruction of Nasser and Al Amal hospitals. OCHA/Themba Linden.
