Three years after the Hamas attack of October 7, 2023, Gaza remains a place where people do little more than survive, according to Público. The Portuguese outlet reported Wednesday that the situation persists despite a ceasefire.
The anniversary drew coverage across several outlets. Valor Econômico reported that Israel held commemorations for the victims of the attack, while Gaza mourned its destruction. Brazil's Senate published a piece describing how the Middle East has been reconfigured in the three years since the Hamas assault. Folha de S.Paulo reported that the date continues to mobilize memory, politics and fears among Jews in Israel. Terra carried testimony from a Brazilian survivor of the October 7 attack in Israel, who said she feels she will not be able to return to being the person she was.
The material reviewed does not specify the terms of the ceasefire or the current scale of conditions in Gaza. Público's account is limited to the assessment that daily life there is still characterized by survival rather than normal existence.
What to watch next: whether the ceasefire holds and whether reporting emerges with concrete detail on conditions inside Gaza and on how Israeli society is marking the anniversary.
