It has been three years since the October 7 Hamas attacks. The events of that day changed the Middle East forever. Today, the world is looking back at the long-term impact on the people caught in the middle.

For many, the pain is as fresh as if it happened yesterday. One man, whose pregnant wife was murdered in front of him during the attacks, shared that he still talks to her every day to cope with the loss.

Children on both sides are also struggling. Kids in Israel and Gaza are growing up in a world defined by conflict. Many are trying to find ways to move forward while dealing with trauma that is hard to put into words.

In Gaza, daily life has become a fight for survival. Many people are living among ruins. They face shortages of clean water, medicine, and food, leading to the spread of diseases. For them, it is a life of 'neither war nor peace'—a state where they are not safe, but they also have no clear path to a better future.

As the world watches, experts and observers are reflecting on the global reaction. Many argue that the last three years have revealed painful truths about how different countries view the conflict and the human cost of the fighting.

Whether it is the personal grief of families or the daily struggle of those living in damaged cities, the effects of October 7 are still felt everywhere. Three years later, the region is still searching for answers and a way to end the cycle of violence.
