One Year After: Damage Assessment Reports on the May 2021 Hostilities on Gaza
Gaza has suffered numerous hostilities over the past two decades. The hostilities in May 2021 had a devastating impact on the lives of people in the Gaza Strip. The physical destruction of homes, hospitals, schools, water and sanitation facilities, and roads meant that many of those who survived were not able to live in a safe environment nor access essential services. This crisis further compounded the severe socioeconomic conditions and deepening vulnerabilities created by the Israeli blockade, as well as the continuing intra-Palestinian divide and the COVID-19 pandemic.
