Current Situation in Gaza
The situation in Gaza is extremely serious.

The crisis of starvation and basic amenities has deepened in Gaza. Israel has also been accused of war crimes and genocide in international courts.
Beginning of the War
The situation in Gaza deteriorated when Hamas launched a terrorist attack on Israel on October 7, 2023. In this attack, approximately 1,200 civilians were killed and 251 people were taken hostage. After this, Israel launched a retaliatory action, which continues to this day. There has been heavy devastation on both sides in this conflict.
International Response and America's Role
The situation in Gaza has increased the concern of the international community. The United Nations and several human rights organizations are constantly appealing for a ceasefire and relief efforts. The United States is currently formulating its strategy to establish peace in Gaza and reduce the humanitarian crisis. This meeting of the Trump administration is considered an important step in this direction.
