According to the Palestinian Health Ministry's figures, over 40,000 Palestinians, most of them civilians, have tragically lost their lives due to Israel's ongoing military campaign in Gaza. This staggering death toll, which includes numerous children and other vulnerable groups, has had devastating long-term effects on Palestinian society. Beyond the immense loss of life, the conflict has also resulted in widespread trauma, displacement, destruction of infrastructure, and disruption of essential services. The impacts on the mental health and economic well-being of the Palestinian population are likely to persist for generations, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis and perpetuating the cycle of violence and instability in the region.
