Khadija Manoun, Badriya Barawi, and Hiyam Zayed, three mothers from Gaza, represent the devastating impact of the nearly two-year-long conflict on families. They have been displaced multiple times, losing their homes and possessions, and now struggle with hunger and lack of basic necessities. Manoun, who lost her fully furnished home, now lives in a rubble-strewn corner, while Barawi, suffering from high blood pressure and diabetes, collapses from hunger, and Zayed and her eight daughters survive on lentil soup without bread. The women describe the loss of their homes, the hardships they face daily, and the despair caused by the ongoing conflict.

Over two million Palestinians in Gaza, living in approximately 15% of the Strip's area due to widespread destruction, face dire conditions. International organizations warn of catastrophic consequences, including significant threats to children's health, disease outbreaks, and societal breakdown, amid the absence of any clear path to a political or humanitarian solution.

Impact Statement: The ongoing conflict in Gaza has created a humanitarian crisis, with widespread displacement, food insecurity, and severe health risks, especially for children.
