"Humanitarian Crisis Unfolding: Reflections on Surviving War in Gaza"

Azmi Keshawi, a Crisis Group researcher in Gaza, shares harrowing experiences of surviving the Israeli military's relentless bombardment, which has displaced almost two million Palestinians and caused severe shortages of essentials like food, water, and electricity. Despite enduring the destruction of his home and near-death experiences, Azmi and his family managed to find shelter in southern Gaza, facing challenges such as scarcity of food, water, and cooking gas. The war, which began on 7 October, has resulted in over 23,000 Palestinian deaths and has left many struggling to survive amid the ongoing Israeli assault.
