The contemporary news websites are dedicated to attract the largest number of the audience through their professional, interactive designs. The current study adopts Carter, Goddard, Sanger, Reah, and Bowring’s (2001) model of text analysis. The model is utilized to analyze three headlines from different news websites; from Aljazeera English, CNN, and BBC. The main topic of the headlines is the conditions and states of women in Gaza during the ongoing conflict; Hamas-Israel (2023) war. The study shows that the headlines illuminate the diverse array of challenges confronting women in Gaza, ranging from fundamental deprivations to hazardous quests for security and existential dread. They present a nuanced depiction of the intricate interplay between gender dynamics, conflict dynamics, and the resilience exhibited by women in Gaza, emphasizing the pressing necessity for acknowledgment, compassion, and intervention to alleviate their predicament at regional and international levels.
