The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) said that the people of the Gaza Strip have been living in indescribable terror under Israeli attacks for a year.

UNRWA Communications Officer Louise Wateridge said on X on Thursday, that the Gaza Strip has been enduring ongoing Israeli attacks since October 7, 2023.

Wateridge added that the war on Gaza has been going on for 12 months, resulting in the displacement of 1.9 million Palestinians and the killing of more than 41,000.

“I cannot quantify the horrors that people have endured relentlessly for 12 months. I cannot fully portray the fear instilled upon an entire population, every hour, of every day. I cannot share the overwhelming smell of blood in hospitals surrounding doctors in despair, unable to save countless children,” Wateridge said.

With unlimited US support, Israel has been waging a devastating war in Gaza since October 7, 2023, leaving more than 137,000 Palestinian martyrs and wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 10,000 missing, amidst massive destruction and deadly famine.
