The Israel-Hamas War is a conflict between Israel and Hamas led Palestinian militant groups that has been taking place since October 7, 2023. On October 7, 2023 the militant groups launched a surprise attack on southern Israel. Following this was a large ground invasion. Israel began the siege of Gaza City in November. For seven days Israel and Hamas applied a ceasefire agreement.

The Israel-Hamas War still continues to this day. On January 16, 2024, Israel forces moved people to the hospital in southern Gaza for shelter to flee. There is panic in the hospital. There are people carrying blankets, mattresses and their personal belongings leaving the hospital. Many women carrying their children as you hear the fire arms in the distance.

Unfortunately, this war has continued for several months. Many people have been killed, which has exceeded 24,285. At least 10,600 of these are children that have been killed in this war since October. Hopefully for this country this war will end soon.
