Abstract

The prolonged Gaza conflict has emerged as one of the most severe humanitarian and economic crises in contemporary global politics, profoundly affecting the socio-economic structure and daily lives of civilians in the region. Continuous violence, political instability, blockades, and large-scale infrastructural destruction have weakened Gaza’s already fragile economy, resulting in widespread unemployment, disruption of trade and commercial activities, inflation, and the collapse of essential public services. The paper examines the nature and extent of economic instability generated by the prolonged conflict and analyzes its impact on civilian livelihoods in Gaza. Particular attention is given to issues such as income loss, rising poverty, food insecurity, and the deterioration of living conditions among affected populations. The study further explores the relationship between infrastructural destruction and the intensification of civilian hardship, especially in relation to housing, healthcare facilities, transportation networks, water supply systems, and educational institutions. The research evaluates the effectiveness of humanitarian aid and economic support mechanisms implemented by international organizations, governments, and relief agencies in mitigating civilian suffering during the conflict. Based primarily on secondary sources, including reports of international organizations, scholarly literature, policy documents, and humanitarian assessments, the study highlights the multidimensional consequences of prolonged conflict on economic stability and human security in Gaza. The findings emphasize that sustainable peace, reconstruction efforts, and coordinated humanitarian interventions are essential for restoring economic resilience and improving civilian well-being in the conflict-affected region.
