STORYLINE:
As Israelis mark a year since the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas attack which sparked the war in Gaza, the besieged coastal enclave is buckling under the weight of the ongoing war.

The massive destruction and displacement are a constant reminder of the retaliatory Israeli assault on the territory, which has no end in sight.

Displaced Palestinians live in harsh conditions among destroyed homes in Khan Younis. Video from The Associated Press shows the scale of the damage and difficult living conditions faced by civilians including women and children.

Israel's yearlong offensive against Hamas has killed tens of thousands of Palestinians and caused staggering destruction across the Gaza Strip that could take decades to rebuild.

Hundreds of thousands of people are crammed into squalid tent camps with no homes to return to, even if there is a cease-fire.

The mountains of rubble alone, laced with human remains, unexploded ordnance and other hazardous materials, could take years to remove.
