Humanitarian conditions in Gaza have become increasingly desperate as Israeli forces intensified bombardments in the southern part of the region this week, now leaving most of Gaza’s 2.2 million residents displaced, thousands dead and electricity, food and water in short supply. Two months after Hamas’s deadly attack on Israel, we take stock of the war that’s ensued, its devastating impact on civilians and what a path toward a peaceful settlement could look like.
Humanitarian Crisis Deepens as Fighting Intensifies in Southern Gaza

Israel and Hamas have resumed fighting after the end of a week-long ceasefire last week, with Israel launching an expanded ground operation and aerial campaign in southern Gaza. Meanwhile, Hamas has remained able to fire rockets into Israel, although many are intercepted by the country's Iron Dome missile defense system. (Alexi J. Rosenfeld_Getty Images)
