As fighting between Israel and Hezbollah escalates, Palestinians in Gaza are fearful their plight is being overlooked by the international community. They worry that with concerns diverted elsewhere, pressure to reach a cease-fire will decrease and the miserable conditions in Gaza could become permanent. Ninety percent of the population is homeless, with hundreds of thousands in unsanitary tent camps struggling to find food and clean water. The families of dozens of Israeli hostages still presumed alive in Gaza have the same worry. They dread the Israeli government’s focus on ending the war in Gaza is fading.
