It’s been two years since the conflict began on October 7, 2023, and Gaza has faced overwhelming hardship. From destroyed homes to shattered hopes, these numbers tell the story of a community under siege. 😢
Here’s the human cost by the numbers: 📊
- 18,500 children killed – imagine every child in a big school gone in an instant.
- 70,000 children severely malnourished – that’s like filling a packed cricket stadium in Dhaka with kids needing urgent food aid.
- Hundreds of thousands displaced – families forced to flee again and again, searching for safety.
- Hospitals collapsed – medical care has become a rare commodity. 🏥
- Clean water scarce – fetching safe water is now a daily struggle. 🚰
- Entire neighborhoods lost – once-vibrant communities reduced to memories.
For socially conscious young people across South and Southeast Asia, these figures hit close to home. Sharing the reality behind the headlines is a step toward keeping global awareness alive. 🕊️
