Gaza humanitarian crisis and civilian impact

Overview

As the conflict in Gaza enters its third and fourth years, the humanitarian situation for civilians remains dire, characterized by mass displacement and severe physical and psychological trauma.

By late 2026, reports indicate that approximately 1.9 million people have been displaced, with over 1.2 million losing their homes. Civilians are living in makeshift conditions, such as tents or the back of vehicles, facing extreme heat, lack of privacy, and significant water shortages.

The impact on children is particularly acute. Data from various international organizations suggests that roughly 19,000 children are unaccompanied or have lost parents. Medical reports highlight a high prevalence of severe injuries among the youth, including heavy burns and limb amputations; children reportedly account for approximately 20% of the over 5,000 amputations performed in the region since October 2023. The destruction of schools, medical services, and infrastructure continues to impede long-term recovery and mental health support.
