Palestinian women in the Gaza Strip have faced many challenges, including poverty, siege, social customs and work, and have lived in poor conditions under the Israeli occupation of Palestine for 77 years, where they participated with men in many arenas in confronting the occupation, as they clearly participated in the return marches and weekly protests in the eastern Gaza Strip that began in 2018 against the blockade policy imposed by the occupation forces on the Gaza Strip since 2006. The suffering of Palestinian women has not ended, and with the beginning of the war on October 7, 2023, Israel killed more than 67,000 Palestinians, according to data from the Palestinian Ministry of Health, 19,000 women during the war that has been ongoing for two years on the Strip, and thousands were also injured. Here we are trying to show some of the suffering of women who lost their husbands, some lost their sons, some lost their brothers, some lost limbs and one of their organs, some lost their homes and dreams, and some lost the photo albums in which they collected everything. Today, Palestinian women have lost everything, really everything. The entire city was destroyed: houses, universities, companies, cafes, streets, parks, everything, and the suffering continues to this day.
