The war in Gaza ignited a chain of conflicts that reshaped the Middle East, eventually culminating in a U.S.-Israeli confrontation with Iran.
Yet as Washington and Tehran negotiate the terms of a fragile peace, the fate of the devastated Palestinian territory has largely faded from the international spotlight.
"Ever since the United States went to war with Iran, the whole world has forgotten Gaza and its tragedy. We no longer have anyone standing by us," said 53-year-old Palestinian Ahmed Jamali, speaking to Agence France-Presse (AFP) from a displacement camp in Gaza where he lives.
"We are weak and oppressed, and Israel is doing whatever it wants: killing, destroying and occupying Gaza, while no one in the world lifts a finger."
The world's shifting focus is especially striking because Gaza lies at the center of the chain of events that pushed the Middle East into its most dangerous crisis in decades.
