The Current Israeli War 2023–2025 on the Gaza Strip, Occupied Palestine, Based on Social, Economic, Public Health, Environmental, Geopolitical, and Human Rights’ Perspectives

Destructive war means severe and widespread destruction. Genocide means killing members of a specific group of people, causing them serious physical and/or mental harm, deliberately subjecting them to living conditions intended to cause their total/partial physical destruction, and imposing on them measures intended to prevent births. Ethnic cleansing means the organized and often violent attempts by a particular cultural or racial group to remove all members of a different group from their homeland. The area of the Gaza Strip is 365 km 2 , and its population is approximately 2.3 million Palestinians. It is part of the Occupied Palestinian Territories (6,000 km 2 ) and an essential part of Historic Palestine (27,000 km 2 ) and has been facing an all-out war since October 8, 2023, by the Israeli occupation forces. Many observers around the world, including governments and international organizations that include United Nations, consider this war as being described “destructive, genocidal, and ethnic cleansing.” As a result of this war, about 63,000 innocent Palestinians have been killed, about 160,000 injured, and more than 20,000 missing—75% of whom are women, children, and elderly. This is in addition to the displacement of about two million Palestinians from their homes across the Gaza Strip. Furthermore, Israel has dropped more than 100,000 tons of explosives (bombs, missiles, etc.) on the Gaza Strip, representing 4–5 times the number of nuclear bombs dropped by the United States on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II. This research article examines the devastating impacts of the ongoing Israeli war on the Gaza Strip and its population from social, economic, geopolitical, environmental, health-wise, and human rights’ perspectives. This article, which documents the war events since October 8, 2023, until August 28, 2025, can serve a wide range of beneficiaries, including policy- and strategy-makers, politicians, academics, human rights activists, environmentalists, socioeconomists, Doctorate and Master students, and postdoctoral researchers, as well as various international organizations, including UN’s.
