On December 27, 2008 the Israeli military launched Operation Cast Lead in the Gaza Strip. The operation involved raids, intensive aerial bombing and a land offensive that began on January 3, 2009. The war ended 22 days later, on January 18, 2009, and took a heavy toll. Nearly 1,300 Palestinians were killed (including 900 civilians, 300 of whom were children) and approximately 5,300 were wounded. What are the humanitarian, medical and economic impacts of that war? How are they felt today?
