Sunrise Over War-Damaged Gaza City.

Gaza - October 07, 2026 The sun rises behind destroyed buildings and tents sheltering displaced Palestinians in Gaza City, Gaza Strip, on October 7, 2026, on the third anniversary of the Hamas-led attack on Israel that triggered the Gaza war. Three years of Israeli bombardment and ground operations have left large areas of the Gaza Strip in ruins and displaced most of its population, with many families continuing to live in tents and makeshift shelters amid damaged neighborhoods. The October 7, 2023 attack killed about 1,200 people in Israel and resulted in 251 hostages being taken to Gaza, while more than 74,000 Palestinians have been killed during the subsequent Israeli military campaign, according to Gaza health authorities.
