Israel’s war on Gaza reaches its three-year mark, with outlets publishing photo essays showing how homes, hospitals, schools, and neighbourhoods across the enclave have been destroyed and many residents remain displaced. The images depict families living among rubble in makeshift shelters and tent cities, alongside scenes of mourning, caring for the injured, and continuing daily survival needs such as water and basic services.
Sources also place the conflict in context of the Oct 7, 2023 attacks on Israel and the subsequent campaign in Gaza. One outlet cites Palestinian health officials’ estimates that at least tens of thousands of Palestinians have been killed over the three years, while noting that the death toll could be higher due to people believed to be trapped under debris or in areas inaccessible to medical teams. Another describes ongoing deadly strikes despite a fragile ceasefire that has largely held for much of the past year.
While the photo-led reporting focuses on the scale of physical destruction and displacement, the accompanying framing differs: some stress the humanitarian impact and mounting casualties, while others emphasize the persistence of tent encampments and the day-to-day conditions residents face.
