Gaza Ceasefire: The Devastating Impact of 15 Months of War
A visual guide showing how the conflict has transformed life in Gaza
Background
A Gaza ceasefire deal has been reached, but 15 months of fighting have had a devastating impact on the coastal Palestinian territory.
Israel's bombing campaign and ground invasion came in response to Hamas's unprecedented cross-border attack on 7 October 2023, in which about 1,200 people were killed and 251 others were taken hostage.
Israel said it was trying to destroy the military and governing capabilities of the Islamist group, which is committed to the destruction of Israel and has been in control of Gaza since 2007, but more than 46,600 Palestinians have also been killed, according to the Hamas-run health ministry.
