Gaza after 15 months of war: A snapshot in maps and charts
CNN — A fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hamas went into effect on Sunday, with the first six-weeks of the deal ushering in a pause to fighting, the staggered release of Israeli hostages and Palestinian prisoners, and an influx of aid to Gaza. Israeli bombardment of Gaza since the Hamas-led October 7 attacks has caused a devastating impact on the territory, with aid agencies warning that damage to critical infrastructure, including schools, hospitals, water and health care facilities, will take years to rebuild. The Israeli military regularly ordered evacuations from one area of danger to another, according to the UN, who have repeatedly said there “is no safe place in Gaza.” Evacuation orders were issued across 67% of Gaza throughout the course of the war, according to data from the Institute for the Study of War. The Israel Defense Forces told CNN that it “does not intentionally harm agricultural land and seeks to mitigate environmental impact absent operational necessity.” Most of Gaza is reliant on humanitarian aid, but many aid entry points into Gaza have been closed by Israeli authorities throughout the war. The UN said in November that people are “effectively starving as the conflict rages, with humanitarian organizations blocked from delivering assistance to those in need.” Before the war, an average of 500 trucks a day – around 15,000 trucks a month – containing aid and commercial goods entered Gaza per month.
