Today marks three years since the start of Israel’s genocide in Gaza.
At least 74,000 Palestinians - including over 21,500 children - have been killed in Israel’s assault on the besieged enclave, though the death toll is likely to be far higher, with thousands believed to be buried under the rubble.
During this time, Israel has flattened homes, hospitals, schools and entire neighbourhoods in Gaza.
The conflict erupted after the 7 October 2023 attacks, which, according to Israeli officials, killed 1,139 people and saw around 250 people taken captive.

Three years of genocide: What we forgot
In three years of Israel's genocidal war on Gaza, at least 74,000 Palestinians have been killed, with 21,000 of them children.
In those years, massacres have been filmed live, tens of thousands have been injured, hospitals were left unable to function, aid has been blocked, and famine was officially declared.
Middle East Eye takes a look at some of the things from the past three years that you may have forgotten.

Three years into Israel’s genocide in Gaza, Palestinian families are still searching for answers about thousands of relatives who vanished during the war.
Some disappeared during Israeli ground attacks on their neighbourhoods or displacement camps. Others went missing while searching for aid, checking on their homes or travelling near the so-called Yellow Line.
For their families, the absence of any definitive answer has left them suspended between hope and grief, unsure whether to keep waiting or begin mourning.

"The decision to launch the 7 October attacks requires serious examination as a strategic choice. It cannot be reduced to an inexplicable eruption of violence, but neither should it be placed beyond criticism"

Gaza doctor describes emergency room chaos | The Gaza Podcast
In this first episode of MEE’s The Gaza Podcast, Palestinian doctor Maryam Youssef says films can never convey the reality of Gaza's hospitals, failing to capture "the heavy silence" of a room full of dead families. Recalling her time at Nasser Hospital, she describes the emergency department as constantly overwhelmed, particularly after attacks near American aid points, which healthcare workers called "death traps" due to predictable influxes of patients shot by snipers.
Youssef says that mass casualty situations force staff to follow strict triage protocols, prioritising those most likely to survive over non-survivable "blue cases" to save limited supplies. Recalling one patient's brother who begged her to help his sibling, she describes the agony of having to confirm his fear that his brother was dying.
