Why the World Must Not Become Desensitised to the Human Cost of Gaza
The opinion article argues that repeated exposure to violence in Gaza has left many people emotionally detached from the human suffering caused by the conflict. It says psychological factors, constant media coverage, and modern warfare have contributed to growing public desensitisation.
The author contends that advanced military technology and powerful propaganda can make the realities of war appear distant, reducing empathy for civilians. The article calls for greater efforts by journalists, artists, filmmakers and civil society to highlight personal stories, preserve evidence and keep international attention focused on the humanitarian impact.
According to the author, giving victims names, faces and personal stories can help restore empathy and encourage greater public engagement with issues of accountability, justice and human dignity.
