Israel is carrying out the offensive in retaliation for a Hamas attack on southern Israel on October 7 in which 1,200 people were killed and 260 people were taken hostage, according to Israeli tallies.
The United Nations has warned of a looming famine and complained of obstacles to getting aid in and distributing it throughout Gaza. The United States also says famine is imminent.
Gaza buildings and land decimated in 6 months of war
Israel's bombardment of Gaza in the six months since the Oct. 7 Hamas terrorist attack has flattened buildings, decimated agricultural land, and destroyed critical infrastructure in the Strip to such a degree that rebuilding its economy could take decades, per a UN report.
The big picture: Strikes have hit every population center along the Strip, killing more than 33,000 people, and displacing about 85% of Gaza's population.
