Photos: Three years of Israel’s war on Gaza as tent cities spread amid ruin

What happened: Three years after the war on Gaza began in October 2023, most residents have been displaced repeatedly and the territory has become one of the world's largest tent cities, per Al Jazeera. Key numbers: More than one in 10 people from Gaza's pre-war population has been killed or wounded since October 2023. Why it matters: A 2025 ceasefire halted large-scale offensives, but strikes continue and few can rebuild because Israel bars most construction materials. The reconstruction plan has stalled.
