The Impact of the Israeli War on the Gaza Strip between 2006–2024 from Social and Environmental Perspectives: A Documentary Study
Keywords:
Israeli wars, Gaza strip, Environmental impact, Social impactAbstract
This study aims to shed light on the environmental and social damages resulting from the Israeli wars on the Gaza Strip, drawing on official documents issued by the Palestinian governmental body and United Nations reports. The study reveals the escalating environmental damages that the Palestinian people have endured throughout the occupation period. Among the most significant of these damages is the increased rate of environmental pollution caused by a rise in radiation and oxides in the air, attributed to actions by the occupying forces. This, in turn, has led to prolonged environmental deterioration experienced by the Palestinian people. The study concludes that repeated Israeli wars on the Gaza Strip have had extensive repercussions on the Palestinian people, both environmentally and socially, aiming to create a challenging environmental reality that forces residents of the Strip to emigrate, thereby enabling the occupying state to achieve its primary goal of expansion and settlement.
