The majority of Gaza residents are descendants of Palestinian families who were displaced during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, when the state of Israel was established. Many of these families originally lived in towns and villages that are now part of Israel. Additionally, some residents have roots in other areas of historic Palestine and the broader region. Today, Gaza's population is predominantly Palestinian, with a strong sense of identity tied to their historical and cultural heritage.
