Gaza Babies Freezing to Death
Quds news - Dec 20, 2025
{MSF Warns Gaza Babies Freezing to Death as Israel Blocks Aid and Violates Ceasefire
Freezing storms and Israel’s aid blockade are killing Gaza’s youngest. As tents flood and hospitals fill with hypothermic babies, Doctors Without Borders warns that without urgent aid and shelter, more children will die despite the ceasefire.
Gaza (QNN)- Doctors Without Borders (MSF) has warned that babies and children in Gaza are dying from harsh winter weather. The group urged Israel to end its aid blockade as the occupation state continues to violate the ceasefire and press on with its genocidal war. MSF cited the death of a 29-day-old premature baby, Said Asad Abedin, from severe hypothermia in Khan Younis, southern Gaza. The baby arrived at Nasser Hospital and died hours later despite treatment. MSF said winter storms, combined with dire living conditions, are raising serious health risks. The Ministry of Health said extreme weather has killed at least 13 people as of Thursday. Earlier this week, a two-week-old baby, Mohammed Khalil Abu al-Khair, also died from exposure after his family lacked proper shelter and clothing. Ahmed al-Farra, head of the maternity pediatric department at Nasser Medical Complex, warned that hypothermia poses grave danger to infants. He said families in tents need heating, mobile homes, and caravans. Without them, more children will die. Bilal Abu Saada, a nursing supervisor at Nasser Hospital, said children are dying because they lack basic survival items. He told MSF that babies arrive at hospitals cold, with life-threatening vital signs. MSF also reported high rates of respiratory infections. The group expects cases to rise through winter, especially among children under five. Heavy rains and storms continue to batter Gaza. Hundreds of thousands of displaced Palestinians live in flooded, damaged tents. MSF called on Israeli authorities to allow a massive and urgent scale-up of aid into the Strip. Meanwhile, Israeli forces shelled areas east of Gaza City and fired shots east of Khan Younis on Saturday. On Friday, an Israeli strike hit a shelter for displaced people and killed at least six. The Israeli military claimed it fired at “suspects.” Videos showed injured civilians, mostly children, and chaos at the scene. Winter conditions have destroyed more than 53,000 tents across Gaza in recent weeks. Flooded streets and sewage overflows spread fast due to widespread destruction. Many families now shelter in partially collapsed buildings despite the risk. Thirteen buildings collapsed across Gaza last week. Since the October 10 ceasefire, Israel has continued to block humanitarian aid into Gaza. UN agencies say Israel has stopped tents and blankets from reaching families, even as storms damaged or destroyed shelters for an estimated 55,000 families. Dozens of child-friendly spaces were also damaged, affecting about 30,000 children. Gaza’s civil defense spokesperson Mahmoud Bassal called for urgent entry of mobile caravans as a temporary solution. He stressed that caravans cannot replace reconstruction, but they can prevent families from drowning, freezing, and falling ill as winter storms continue.} Video - Source: https://qudsnen.co/post?id=66916&slug=msf-warns-gaza-babies-freezing-to-death-as-israel-blocks-aid-and-violates-ceasefire

{MSF urges Israel to let critical aid into Gaza as children freeze to death
At least 13 people in Gaza, including two-week-old and one-month-old babies, have died from winter weather and a lack of adequate shelter and aid – blocked by Israel. Doctors Without Borders, known by its French initials MSF, has warned that babies and children in the Gaza Strip are dying from harsh winter weather, calling on Israel to ease its aid blockade as the military continues to violate the ceasefire and press on with its genocidal war. Citing the death of a 29-day-old premature baby, Said Asad Abedin, from severe hypothermia in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis, MSF said on Friday that winter storms “combined with the already dire living conditions [are] increasing health risks”. The death toll from extreme weather stood at 13 as of Thursday, according to Gaza’s Ministry of Health. Another two-week-old baby, Mohammed Khalil Abu al-Khair, froze to death without access to proper shelter or clothing earlier this week. Ahmed al-Farra, head of the maternity paediatric department at Nasser Medical Complex, said in a video update that “hypothermia is very dangerous” for babies. “If nothing is offered for these families in the tents, for warming, for mobile homes, for caravans, unfortunately, we will see more and more” deaths, al-Farra said. Children are “losing their lives because they lack the most basic items for survival,” Bilal Abu Saada, a nursing team supervisor at Nasser Hospital, told MSF. “Babies are arriving to the hospital cold, with near-death vital signs.” In addition to the growing number of deaths, MSF said its staff has recorded high rates of respiratory infections that it expects to increase throughout the winter, posing a particular danger to children under five. “As Gaza is battered by heavy rains and storms, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians continue to struggle in flooded and broken makeshift tents,” the organisation added. “MSF calls on Israeli authorities to urgently allow a massive scale up of aid into the Strip.”
No letup in Israeli attacks
Palestinian news agency Wafa, meanwhile, reported that Israeli forces demolished buildings, carried out artillery shelling and shot guns in areas east of Gaza City on Saturday morning, with more gunfire reported east of Khan Younis. On Friday, an Israeli strike on a shelter for displaced Palestinians killed at least six people. The Israeli military claimed to be firing on “suspects”. Graphic videos from the scene showed body parts and terrified civilians trying to carry wounded people out of danger. Military vehicles also descended upon the town of az-Zawiya, located west of Salfit in the occupied West Bank, where forces severely beat and injured a number of citizens and stormed homes, the agency said.
‘I can still hear his tiny cries’
Heavy rain, high winds and freezing temperatures have battered Gaza in recent weeks, flooding or blowing away more than 53,000 tents that have served as makeshift shelters for displaced Palestinians. With huge swaths of buildings and infrastructure destroyed, streets are quick to flood and sewage overflows. Displaced families have sought refuge in the shells of partially fallen-down buildings despite the risk of collapse, with 13 buildings caving in across Gaza last week. The winter weather and Israel’s blocking of vital aid and mobile homes for shelter have proven deadly for children and babies. Late in the evening of December 13, Eman Abu al-Khair, a 34-year-old displaced Palestinian living in al-Mawasi west of Khan Younis, found her sleeping baby Mohammed “cold as ice”, his hands and feet frozen and “his face stiff and yellowish”, she told Al Jazeera. She and her husband couldn’t find transportation to get to hospital, and intense rain made it impossible to make the trek by foot. After rushing Mohammed by animal-drawn cart to Red Crescent Hospital in Khan Younis at dawn, he was admitted to intensive care with a blue face and convulsions. He died two days later. “I can still hear his tiny cries in my ears,” Eman said. “I sleep and drift off, unable to believe that his crying and waking me at night will never happen again.” Mohammed “had no medical problems,” she added. “His tiny body simply couldn’t withstand the extreme cold inside the tents.” Since the October 10 ceasefire took effect, Israel has continued to block the entry of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip despite calls from a host of United Nations agencies, international organisations and other states for it to stop. The UN has said that Israel has prevented tents and blankets from reaching Palestinians, even as an estimated 55,000 families have seen their belongings and shelters damaged or destroyed in the storm. Dozens of child-friendly spaces have also been damaged, affecting 30,000 children, according to the UN. Natasha Hall, a senior advocate for Refugees International, told Al Jazeera that aid is entering Gaza in a “trickle” in part due to its opaque list of “controlled dual-use items” that has included nappies, bandages, tools, tents and other essentials. “It’s unclear how those could be used as weapons or any kind of dual use,” Hall said.} Video - Source: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/12/20/msf-urges-israel-to-let-critical-aid-into-gaza-as-children-freeze-to-death

{Islamic University of Gaza resumes classes on site amid Israeli destruction
Students return for in-person classes amid ruins as Palestinians fight to salvage education from systematic decimation. Students at the Islamic University of Gaza have returned to in-person classes for the first time in two years, navigating a campus transformed into a site of mass displacement and utter devastation as a result of Israel’s genocidal war on the besieged Palestinian enclave. This Gaza City university, which reopened following October’s ceasefire, now hosts about 500 displaced families sheltering inside buildings reduced to hollow shells by Israel’s relentless assault. Tents dot the grounds where lecture halls once stood, a stark illustration of Gaza’s dual crises of homelessness and educational collapse. “We came here after being displaced from Jabalia because we had nowhere else to go,” said Atta Siam, one of those seeking refuge on campus. “But this place is for education. It’s not meant to be a shelter – it’s a place for our children to study.” The partial resumption of classes has rekindled hopes for thousands of students, despite conditions that bear little resemblance to a functioning university. UNESCO estimates more than 95 percent of higher education campuses across Gaza have been severely damaged or destroyed since the war began in October 2023. First-year medical student Youmna Albaba said she had dreamed of attending a properly equipped university. “I need a place where I can focus, that is fully qualified in every way,” she said. “But I haven’t found what I imagined here. Still, I have hope because we are building everything from scratch.” What human rights groups and United Nations experts have termed “scholasticide” – the systematic obliteration of an education system – has left more than 750,000 Palestinian students without schooling for two consecutive academic years, according to the Gaza-based organisation Al Mezan Center for Human Rights. Recent figures paint a devastating picture – 494 schools and universities have been partially or completely destroyed, with 137 reduced to rubble. The toll includes 12,800 students killed, along with 760 teachers and educational staff, and 150 academics and researchers, Al Mezan reported in January. Isra University, which had been Gaza’s last remaining functioning university, was demolished by Israeli forces in January 2024. At the Islamic University, professors are improvising with whatever resources remain amid power cuts, shortages of equipment and inadequate learning environments. Dr Adel Awadallah described covering exposed walls with plastic sheets to accommodate as many students as possible. “We’ve borrowed motors to generate electricity to operate the university equipment,” he said. With only four classrooms operational, thousands of students are depending on these makeshift arrangements to continue their education. UN experts warned in April 2024 that the scale of destruction may constitute a deliberate effort to dismantle Palestinian society’s foundations. “When schools are destroyed, so too are hopes and dreams,” their statement read, calling the pattern of attacks systematic violence against educational infrastructure.
The challenges extend beyond physical destruction. Families struggling to secure food, water and medicine find supporting children’s education nearly impossible. Remote learning initiatives by the Ministry of Education and UNRWA have been undermined by electricity blackouts, internet outages and ongoing displacement. Yet students persist. Despite the trauma of more than two years of Israeli bombardment and the loss of family members, they have consistently identified returning to school as a top priority, a chance to reclaim normalcy and their futures. As Youmna Albaba, the medical student, put it, “Despite all this, I am happy because I attend lectures in person. We are building everything from scratch.”} Video - Source: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/12/20/islamic-university-of-gaza-resumes-classes-on-site-amid-israeli-destruction

{Netanyahu finally announces October 7 inquiry: Why are Israelis furious?
The Israeli prime minister will be heading the inquiry into his own government’s failings ahead of the Hamas-led attacks. The news that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will be heading the inquiry into his own government’s failings ahead of the Hamas-led attacks of October 7, 2023, has drawn sharp criticism from many across Israel. Calls for a state commission of inquiry, to be led by a sitting or retired Supreme Court justice, have been omnipresent since the attacks. Senior military figures, the families of many of those killed or taken captive on October 7, and polls of the Israeli public have supported the establishment of an inquiry capable of holding the government to account. Until now, Netanyahu has gone to great lengths to avoid an official investigation into any failings on his or his government’s part, arguing instead that overseeing his country’s genocidal war on Gaza, which has killed more than 70,000 people since October 2023, has had to take priority. However, on Thursday, the Prime Minister’s Office announced that Netanyahu would instead be pushing ahead with legislation to establish a politically-appointed inquiry, with him at the helm, with parliament Speaker Amir Ohana, a close ally of the prime minister, expected to play a key role in selecting its members....} Read more at Video - Source: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/12/20/netanyahu-finally-announces-october-7-inquiry-why-are-israelis-furious

{DAWN Unveils “The Faces of AIPAC,” Exposing Hidden Leadership of the Israeli Lobby Shaping US Politics
DAWN reveals the 50 individuals running Israel’s AIPAC, highlighting how board members and executives influence US foreign policy, billions in military aid, and pro-Israel political campaigns while remaining hidden from public view.
Washington DC (QNN)- DAWN has launched “The Faces of AIPAC,” a new initiative revealing the 50 individuals who govern and run the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC). The effort exposes a lack of transparency in one of Washington’s most influential lobbying organizations. Unlike similar organizations, AIPAC does not publicly list its board members or executives. DAWN’s project compiles this information from IRS filings, lobbying disclosures, FEC records, and other open sources. It names 41 board members and 9 executives who direct strategy and operations. “AIPAC has hidden its leadership from the American public,” said Sarah Leah Whitson, DAWN executive director. “We are putting faces to the names. These are real people making real decisions with global consequences.” Under Washington, DC nonprofit law, AIPAC’s officers and directors carry legal responsibility for the organization’s conduct. They must exercise care, act in good faith, and report violations. While directors enjoy some liability protection, executives face potential personal liability for negligence. DAWN highlights how AIPAC’s leadership forms a network of networks across the US pro-Israel ecosystem. Examples include:
Betsy Berns Korn, AIPAC Board Chair, also leads the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations.
Harriet Schleifer, former Conference Chair, sits on AIPAC’s board and other pro-Israel institutions.
Michael Kassen serves on AIPAC’s board and as a trustee of the Hudson Institute; his wife, Shelly Kassen, leads the Washington Institute.
Jamie Sprayregen, board member, holds roles at the Middle East Forum and American Jewish Committee.
Alan Levow, Vice President, also serves with the American Israel Education Foundation, which funds congressional trips to Israel.
Robert Cohen and Alan Franco, former board leaders, are linked to Israeli military charities and Tel Aviv’s Institute for National Security Studies.
DAWN stresses that understanding who governs AIPAC is critical because these individuals control billions in US military aid to Israel, influence US foreign policy, and finance pro-Israel political campaigns. “Our research shows AIPAC’s board is more than a leadership team. It is a central hub connecting virtually every major pro-Israel institution in America,” said Isabelle Hayslip, DAWN advocacy specialist.} Video - Source: https://qudsnen.co/post?id=66918&slug=dawn-unveils-the-faces-of-aipac-exposing-hidden-leadership-of-the-israeli-lobby-shaping-us-politics

{BBC Investigation Exposes Fake Cancer Charity Scam Linked to Israeli Man in Canada
BBC exposes shocking cancer charity scam. Sick children were filmed begging for help, while millions raised never reached them. Families say they received nothing, yet campaigns continue online, linked to an Israeli man living in Canada.
London (QNN)- A BBC investigation has uncovered a global cancer charity scam that exploited sick children and their families. The investigation found that millions of dollars raised in donations never reached the children they were meant to help. The scam is linked to an Israeli man living in Canada. The investigation identified at least nine families who received nothing, despite campaigns that appeared to raise around $4 million. Parents say they were misled, manipulated, and left without support while their children battled cancer. The network behind the campaigns links to Erez Hadari, an Israeli man living in Canada. He is connected to several organizations, including “Chance Letikva”, also known as “Chance for Hope.” The group is registered in Israel and the United States. The investigation found that scouts targeted children aged three to nine. They focused on bald children with cancer and described them as “beautiful.” Many came from poor countries, including the Philippines, Colombia, Ukraine, Ghana, and Mexico. The campaigns used highly emotional videos. Children were filmed begging for help and claiming their lives were at risk. Some were connected to fake medical equipment. Crews used chopped onions and menthol to force tears. One case involved Khalil, a seven-year-old boy from the Philippines. His mother, Aljin Tabasa, said the crew shaved his head and made him recite a script in English. They told her the video would help pay for treatment. The campaign in Khalil’s name appeared to raise $27,000. Aljin says she never received the money. She only got a $700 filming fee. One year later, Khalil died. “If I had known the money was raised, maybe my son would still be alive,” she told the BBC. The BBC found 15 families worldwide who say they received little or no money. Some did not even know campaigns existed in their children’s names. One whistleblower from inside the network said recruiters searched oncology wards for “beautiful children” aged three to nine. They demanded photos and sent them to Erez for approval. The investigation traced many campaigns to Chance Letikva. Others were promoted by Walls of Hope, registered in Israel and Canada. Documents list Erez Hadari as director of Walls of Hope in Canada. Photos online show Hadari at Jewish religious events in several countries. Families in the Philippines and Colombia identified him as the man who directed filming. In Colombia, Sergio Care said his daughter Ana was filmed while suffering from a brain tumour. The campaign later appeared to raise nearly $250,000. The family received nothing. In Ukraine, a campaign featuring five-year-old Viktoriia appeared to raise more than €280,000. Her mother said she never approved the campaign and never wrote the appeal text. The clinic later fired the staff member who organized the filming. The BBC tested the campaign sites by donating small amounts. The public totals increased immediately, suggesting the figures were real.
Experts told the BBC that charity advertising costs should not exceed 20 percent. Families were later told donations went to “advertising,” without proof. Some campaigns for children who have already died still accept donations online. The BBC contacted Erez Hadari and all named organizations. None responded. Hadari denied involvement in one voice message and later stopped replying.} Video - Source: https://qudsnen.co/post?id=66917&slug=bbc-investigation-exposes-fake-cancer-charity-scam-linked-to-israeli-man-in-canada

baby slips back into famine
{No adequate shelters or warm clothes for Palestinians braving Gaza’s storms
The current storms in Gaza are among the “harshest” periods people there have faced, says resident Ahmad al-Najjar. “Thousands of Palestinians … have been pushed [to al-Mawasi] sheltering in inadequate tents that [have] been exposed to the harshest conditions,” he told Al Jazeera, speaking from Gaza’s southern area of al-Mawasi. Strong winds have destroyed thousands of tents and left people homeless once again, he said. “Just yesterday, two trucks were allowed [in]to the Gaza Strip while [600] trucks are supposed to enter every single day,” added al-Najjar. No materials for shelter have been allowed in by Israel since the ceasefire, he said. Meanwhile, Israeli forces continue to launch deadly attacks while babies and young children are dying due to the cold, he added. “Many more are expected to die with no aid … [or warm] winter clothes.”

& Deregistration of NGOs under new Israeli rules ‘will have catastrophic impact on Gaza services’
New rules in Israel for registering NGOs, under which more than a dozen groups have already been rejected, could have a catastrophic impact on aid work in Gaza and the West Bank, relief workers have warned. The NGOs have until December 31 to register under the new framework, which Israel says aims to prevent “hostile actors or supporters of terrorism”. Requests are rejected for “organisations involved in terrorism, antisemitism, delegitimisation of Israel, Holocaust denial, denial of the crimes of October 7,” Israel’s Ministry for Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism told AFP. The ministry said 14 out of 100 registration requests have been rejected since November. The Humanitarian Country Team of the Occupied Palestinian Territory warned that dozens of groups face deregistration and that, while some had been registered, “these NGOs represent only a fraction of the response in Gaza and are nowhere near the number required just to meet immediate and basic needs”. “The deregistration of NGOs in Gaza will have a catastrophic impact on access to essential and basic services,” it said. The amount of aid entering Gaza remains inadequate. While the ceasefire agreement stipulated the entry of 600 trucks per day, only 100 to 300 are carrying humanitarian aid, according to NGOs and the UN. The NGOs barred under the new rules include Save the Children, one of the best known and oldest in Gaza, where it helps 120,000 children, and the American Friends Service Committee. They are being given 60 days to withdraw all their international staff from the Gaza Strip, the occupied West Bank and Israel, and will no longer be able to deliver any aid.
& Agencies warn limited access by Israel undermining Gaza aid
The UN’s FAO, WHO, WFP and UNICEF say import restrictions and access constraints imposed by Israel, as well as “major funding gaps”, are severely hindering their capacity to operate at the necessary scale in Gaza. They said in a statement that interventions supporting food security, nutrition, health, water, sanitation, hygiene, agriculture and livelihood recovery are particularly affected, and warned that hundreds of thousands in the enclave are in dire need of that assistance. “Even though markets are now better stocked with nutritious food following the improved flow of humanitarian and commercial deliveries, vulnerable families, especially those with children, cannot afford to buy it,” the agencies said. According to the UN, since the ceasefire in October, more than 730,000 people have been displaced, many living in makeshift shelters and are heavily reliant on humanitarian assistance.
& How much aid has Israel restricted?
Here are the numbers:

aid israel restricted
& ‘Hundreds of thousands could rapidly slip back into famine’: UN agencies
The UN’s top agencies have welcomed the IPC’s report that famine is not longer in effect in Gaza, but emphasised the global monitor’s warning that the situation remains critical for civilians in the enclave. “Without sustained, large-scale expansion of food, livelihood, agriculture and health assistance, together with increased commercial inflows, hundreds of thousands of people could rapidly slip back into famine,” the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), UNICEF, the World Food Programme (WFP), and the World Health Organization (WHO) said. “Humanitarian needs remain staggering, with current assistance addressing only the most basic survival requirements. Children under five, along with pregnant and breastfeeding women, remain among the most vulnerable, facing worryingly high levels of malnutrition despite recent improvements.”
& Top Hamas official says Miami talks must end ‘ongoing Israeli lawlessness’
Bassem Naim has said the talks in Miami must aim to end Israeli ceasefire violations in Gaza. “Our people expect these talks to result in an agreement to put an end to ongoing Israeli lawlessness, halt all violations and compel the occupation to abide by the Sharm El-Sheikh agreement,” the Hamas political bureau member told AFP. During the second stage, Israel is supposed to withdraw from its positions in Gaza, an interim authority is to govern the Palestinian territory instead of Hamas, and an international stabilisation force is to be deployed. Naim said the new talks should also boost the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza. He told the news agency the discussions should address how to implement the plan in a way to ensure “sustainable stability, launches a comprehensive reconstruction process and paves the way for a political track enabling Palestinians to govern themselves, culminating in a fully sovereign and independent state”.

& Severe hunger still plagues Gaza, warns Islamic Relief
The IPC’s new report on hunger in Gaza shows that “nowhere near enough” aid is getting into the Strip since the ceasefire was announced, says international aid organisation Islamic Relief. “There has been some fragile improvement to address the famine, but acute malnutrition is still at critical levels in many areas of Gaza and half a million people are still suffering severe hunger as winter sets in,” the organisation said in a statement. Malnourished children are not getting care due to a shortage of essential medical supplies, food remains unaffordable – if it is available, and the rate of aid coming in is insufficient to due Israeli’s blockade, said Islamic Relief. “Islamic Relief warns a return to famine remains a real threat in the coming months, unless there is renewed commitment to a full and lasting ceasefire, greater humanitarian access, and progress on rebuilding services, livelihoods and the economy,” the organisation said.
& ‘Lives depend on it’: WHO urges countries to open doors to Gaza patients
The head of the World Health Organization has warned that more lives could be lost unless patients from Gaza are able to head abroad for treatments or undergo medical evacuations to the occupied West Bank. In a post on social media, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said the WHO and its partners have evacuated more than 10,600 patients from Gaza with severe health conditions, including more than 5,600 children, since the start of the war. “Yet, many more patients remain in Gaza awaiting evacuation to receive appropriate health care,” he said. “According to Ministry of Health, 1092 patients have died while awaiting medical evacuation between July 2024 and November 28, 2025. However, this figure is likely underreported.”
& In Gaza, 1.6 million people still face ‘acute food insecurity’: UNWRA
Despite no famine conditions, Gaza remains in a “hunger crisis”, says Philippe Lazzarini, the commissioner-general of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, or UNRWA. In a social media post, he said the latest report from IPC “underscores how fragile the gains have been since the ceasefire began in October”. He added that while the Gaza governorate “is no longer classified as being in famine, 1.6 million people still face high levels of acute food insecurity” and urged for more aid to be let in.
& No famine does not mean no misery in Gaza
By Tareq Abu Azzoum - Reporting from Gaza City, Gaza
Gaza is no longer in famine conditions – but that does not mean the crisis is over. One of the UN aid distribution centres here has shut down and been turned into a mass displacement camp for Gaza’s residents. People are living in unbearable conditions and the UN is still warning that the limited food rations and the ongoing aid restrictions could quickly reverse all recent gains. So what we can see on the ground is a continuation of the humanitarian miseries families are living in. The displaced people living in makeshift tents are depending on very small food rations. More commercial goods are coming in rather than aid supplies. UN agencies are still battling to scale up humanitarian deliveries and believe that without them, the situation in Gaza will worsen within the coming week – specifically for the displaced families who are suffering under the current weather conditions.
& IPC says Gaza no longer experiencing famine, warns situation ‘highly fragile’
The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC), a global hunger monitor, has said there is no longer famine in Gaza after access for humanitarian and commercial food deliveries improved following the start of the fragile ceasefire in October. The IPC, however, warned that the situation in Gaza remains critical.
“Under a ⁠worst-case scenario, which would include renewed hostilities and a halt in humanitarian and commercial inflows, the entire Gaza Strip [would be] at risk of famine through mid-April 2026. This underscores the severe and ongoing humanitarian crisis,” the monitor said in a report. It added that more than 100,000 people in Gaza were experiencing catastrophic conditions, but projected that figure to decline to about 1,900 people by April 2026. It said the entire ‌Gaza Strip was classified in an emergency phase, one step below catastrophic conditions. “The situation remains highly fragile and is contingent on sustained, expanded and consistent humanitarian and commercial ‌access,” the IPC said. The latest assessment by the monitor comes four months after it reported that 514,000 people – nearly a quarter of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip – were experiencing famine. Israel controls all access to the besieged enclave, with international aid organisations stating that Israel has allowed far fewer than 600 trucks a day, in violation of the ceasefire.

ceasefire too Late
{Gaza ceasefire must be ‘fully implemented’: Guterres
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres says it is “crucial” to move to phase two of the ceasefire in Gaza. “I think it’s very important to move with the peace process as a whole … [and] to make sure that phase one, and namely the ceasefire, are fully implemented,” Guterres said during a news conference in New York. Guterres also said humanitarian needs in Gaza are growing faster than aid can get in, and called on Israel to open more border crossings. “Buildings – already battered by bombardment – are collapsing under the weight of rain and wind, claiming more civilian lives,” he said. “Water and sanitation services, hospitals, and bakeries are struggling to recover from destruction, supply shortages, and continued restrictions on what can enter.” He continued, “Strikes and hostilities continue, pushing the civilian toll of this war even higher and exposing our teams to grave danger.” Guterres pushed for the opening of border crossings, the lifting of restrictions on critical items, the creation of safe routes inside Gaza, and unimpeded access.
& UN criticises latest US sanctions on ICC judges
The United Nations has condemned Washington for intensifying “reprisals” against international institutions, after the Trump administration slapped sanctions on two more International Criminal Court judges over their investigation of Israel. The judges hit with US sanctions on Thursday – Gocha Lordkipanidze of Georgia and Erdenebalsuren Damdin of Mongolia – had voted earlier this week to reject a challenge by Israel which sought to end a war crimes probe in Gaza.
The United States has already sanctioned nine ICC judges and prosecutors for their probes of alleged Israeli war crimes. “Yesterday’s announcement of US sanctions against two more [ICC] judges … represents a further intensification of reprisals against international institutions,” the UN rights office said on X.
“Such targeting of judges, as well as prosecutors and UN experts, runs counter to the rule of law and administration of justice.”
& Holy Land’s top Catholic leader hails Palestinian ‘resilience’ on visit to Gaza
The top Catholic leader in the Holy Land has visited the Gaza Strip’s only Catholic church to share a message of Christmas hope and support. Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa was greeted by children in Santa hats and keffiyehs in the courtyard of the church compound, which was gaily decorated with twinkling lights and Christmas ornaments. “I know the situation is difficult, but I see with the children, the school, the activities, a little light of hope,” he said in English to several dozen people gathered for the festivity. “You have been a wonderful testimony, not only of resilience, but of faith and hope for many people not just in Gaza, but many other parts of the world.” He said the Christian community aims to be a “stable, solid reference point in this sea of destruction” as the rebuilding slowly begins. The Holy Family compound was hit by fragments from an Israeli shell in July, killing three people in what Israel then called an accident and expressed regret over. “We cannot forget what happened. And we will never forget. But now we have to look forward,” said Pizzaballa, the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem. “We need to cure, to heal our hearts.”
& Palestinian man in Gaza builds washing machine from spare parts
Tayseer Obaid built a washing machine from spare items, an example of the creativity people in Gaza are forced to rely on as Israel blocks aid and electricity.
He used rudimentary tools to build the device, in order to help alleviate some of his families’ struggles living in a tent displacement camp.

& Israeli attack in Gaza City injures four Palestinians
Four Palestinians have been injured in Israeli artillery shelling in Gaza City, in the latest violation of a ceasefire agreement, medical sources said. The four were rushed to the al-Ahli Arab Hospital in central Gaza after Israeli forces shelled a school-turned shelter in Tuffah neighbourhood of eastern Gaza City. The targeted area is among the locations from which the Israeli army had withdrawn under the ceasefire agreement in force in the Gaza Strip since October 10.

& Israeli army claims Palestinian killed in Gaza ‘terrorist’ who crossed truce line
The Israeli military has confirmed killing another Palestinian in central Gaza, again claiming that the person was a “terrorist” who was undermining the ceasefire that has been routinely violated by Israel. The army said in a short statement that its forces operating in central Gaza identified the individual who allegedly crossed the so-called yellow line delineated in the ceasefire “and approached the forces in a manner that posed an immediate threat”. “Immediately after the identification, the air force, guided by the forces, eliminated the terrorist in order to remove the threat,” it said, adding that Israeli soldiers reserve the right to attack again. The Israeli military has killed a number of Palestinians, including children, for allegedly crossing the yellow line, accusing them of being armed fighters.

&No adequate shelters or warm clothes for Palestinians braving Gaza’s storms
The current storms in Gaza are among the “harshest” periods people there have faced, says resident Ahmad al-Najjar. “Thousands of Palestinians … have been pushed [to al-Mawasi] sheltering in inadequate tents that [have] been exposed to the harshest conditions,” he told Al Jazeera, speaking from Gaza’s southern area of al-Mawasi. Strong winds have destroyed thousands of tents and left people homeless once again, he said. “Just yesterday, two trucks were allowed [in]to the Gaza Strip while [600] trucks are supposed to enter every single day,” added al-Najjar. No materials for shelter have been allowed in by Israel since the ceasefire, he said. Meanwhile, Israeli forces continue to launch deadly attacks while babies and young children are dying due to the cold, he added. “Many more are expected to die with no aid … [or warm] winter clothes.”
