As the escalating conflict between Israel and Hezbollah grabs global attention, Palestinians in Gaza are increasingly concerned about being forgotten amid their ongoing humanitarian crisis. Over the past year, Gaza's abysmal living conditions have continued to worsen, leaving many in precarious and unsanitary conditions.

"We have become completely forgotten," says Nezar Zaqout, reflecting the deepening worry among 1.9 million displaced Palestinians that international focus has shifted away from their struggles. The anxiety is shared by the families of Israeli hostages held in Gaza, fearing abandonment as clashes intensify along the Israel-Lebanon border.

Despite months of air and ground assaults that have left much of Gaza devastated, diplomatic efforts to broker a ceasefire have stalled. The dire situation remains as displaced families plead for international attention, hoping to keep the world's focus on their enduring humanitarian crisis.
