War Leaves Palestinians in Gaza Without Homes, Work or Lasting Security

Palestinians in the Gaza Strip face a daily struggle as Israel’s war devastates homes and livelihoods, leaving people displaced and thousands suffering injuries that prevent them from working.

For those who have lost their homes, life now unfolds between tents and rubble. Displacement has turned the search for shelter into an ongoing challenge, with no stable place to rebuild their lives.

The destruction of livelihoods has compounded that hardship. Losing work means losing the means to meet daily needs, even as families confront the consequences of losing their homes.

Thousands of Palestinians have also sustained injuries that have left them unable to work. For them, the war’s physical toll is inseparable from the loss of income and independence.

Together, displacement, unemployment and disabling injuries have reshaped daily life in Gaza. The struggle is not only to find shelter, but also to regain the ability to earn a living.
