In one year of war between Israel and Hamas, the people of Gaza have lost nearly everything: their loved ones, their homes, their careers and their dreams. AFP spoke to a student, a paramedic and a former civil servant in Gaza, to hear how the conflict has impacted their lives.
In total, more than 41,000 people have been killed in the besieged Palestinian territory in Israel's retaliatory campaign after the 7 October attack, according to the health ministry in Hamas-run Gaza.
Hamas's unprecedented attack on Israel resulted in the deaths of 1,205 people on the Israel side, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally based on Israeli official figures that include hostages killed in captivity.
