It's been two years since October 7, 2023 shook the world. A fresh video shared across social platforms captures Gaza as if erased from the map 😔. Buildings, roads, schools – once buzzing with life – are now piles of rubble.
According to the health ministry in the Hamas-controlled territory (figures deemed credible by the UN), at least 67,160 Palestinians have been killed. That's more than the population of many college towns combined.
For many of us in South and Southeast Asia, we've witnessed the aftermath of floods in Bangladesh or typhoons in the Philippines – and seen communities rise from the wreckage. But Gaza's devastation, with limited aid and resources, feels like a scene from another world.
In the new video, doctors work round the clock with scarce supplies, families sift through ruins searching for loved ones, and children grow up knowing only conflict. Each frame is a stark reminder: behind the numbers are real lives and dreams.
As tech-savvy young adults, we can't look away. Sharing verified info on Instagram stories, joining online forums, or supporting NGOs – small actions can keep global attention on Gaza. Let's use our digital power for empathy and change 🕊️.
