Three Years On: Gaza’s Children Navigate Ruins While Israeli Teens Rebuild Normalcy

A ceasefire declared in October 2025 has not ended violence, with over 1,400 Palestinians killed since its implementation. The contrast highlights divergent recovery paths: Israelis are reintegrating into pre-war lives, while Gazans struggle with destroyed infrastructure, family fragmentation, and basic survival.
