Collective trauma marks anniversary of Hamas attack on Israel

GENEVA — As the conflict in Gaza enters its second year, the World Health Organization is calling for an end to the "unspeakable suffering" of civilians in Israel and the region and for health care to be protected and not attacked. The WHO says the horrific attacks by Hamas militants and other armed groups in Israel on October 7 of last year touched off events that have caused tens of thousands of civilian deaths and injuries, as well as the displacement of millions of people in Israel, Gaza, the West Bank, and now in Lebanon.
