{Economic survival in Gaza decimated by Israeli counts on small initiatives
Gaza’s unemployment rate has reached 80 percent, among the highest in the world, according to the United Nations.
After more than two years of Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza, the daily unbearable churn of mass death and mourning, with homes, hospitals and schools destroyed, the besieged Palestinian territory also faces the fastest and most damaging economic collapse on record. That is according to the United Nations, which says Gaza’s unemployment rate has reached 80 percent. Yet despite Israel’s suffocating blockade on the Strip, Palestinians are improvising businesses to survive. For many people, survival now depends on skills and small initiatives, rather than formal jobs. Widowed and responsible for a household of five,

Um Mohammed al-Jarjawi
Um Mohammed al-Jarjawi relies on knitting to provide for her family – and sometimes passes on her skills to the next generation. Every day inside her home, al-Jarjawi prepares food for her grandchildren. Moments later, she heads out to work. “I started learning knitting when I was 10 years old,” she told Al Jazeera. “Later, I attended courses at specialised centres. I discovered that I was skilled at the craft and began training others. “After my husband passed away, I needed to support my household. I focused on working to provide for my family while improving my skills.”

Small-scale businesses have expanded, ranging from solar-powered phone-charging stations to women knitting baby clothes. They provide households with short-term means of survival, but it is not enough to restore economic stability or generate sustainable, protected employment. With 70 percent of electricity networks destroyed, Gaza’s power system has collapsed, forcing people to improvise. For Wasim al-Yazji, a makeshift solar-powered charging station is a fragile lifeline that provides some income – but cannot solve the power crisis. “I opened this charging station to help my family with basic needs, some food and small expenses. I try to support my household through it,” al-Yazji told Al Jazeera. His home used to have a supermarket beneath it, but it was destroyed. “My charging station depends on solar panels, so if the sun doesn’t shine, the charging power is weak and I can’t work for days. Sometimes a whole week passes under clouds without any income,” he said.

Gaza’s labour market has virtually collapsed, with the UN reporting that the enclave now faces one of the highest unemployment rates in the world. For many young men and women, jobs are nowhere to be found, forcing them to pace the streets or wait endlessly for a chance to work. “I’ve been looking for a job for months,” Mohammed Shatat told Al Jazeera. “Even temporary work is hard to find. Every day feels the same… I go from place to place, asking, hoping, but there’s nothing.” Families are finding ways to survive amid the devastation and destruction, but these informal ventures are no solution to the economic crisis: With hundreds of thousands of people still out of work, unemployment remains a tremendous challenge across the Strip.} Video - Source: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/1/6/economic-survival-in-gaza-decimated-by-israeli-counts-on-small-initiatives

{Israeli school assault wounds dozens of Palestinians in West Bank raid
Casualties taken to Istishari Arab Hospital in Ramallah following an Israeli army attack on Birzeit University. Dozens of people were wounded after Israel’s army opened fire with live rounds, sound grenades, and tear gas at a prominent university in the occupied West Bank as students sat in classrooms and roamed the campus. Israeli soldiers smashed open the university’s gates as panicked students and staff watched in shock on Tuesday. Three of the injured were shot in the legs, according to the Palestine Red Crescent Society. Five people suffered tear gas inhalation, and three were hit by flying shrapnel. In a statement, Birzeit University said the attack “constitutes a flagrant and deliberate violation of the sanctity of universities and educational institutions”, the official Wafa news agency reported. “Storming the campus in broad daylight and transforming it into a military zone reflects a systematic policy aimed at intimidating students, undermining their right to education, and targeting Palestinian consciousness,” it said. The Palestinian Ministry of Health said 11 people arrived at the Istishari Arab Hospital in Ramallah for treatment. The Israeli raid followed a student event in solidarity with thousands of Palestinian prisoners held incommunicado in Israeli jails, and coincided with a screening of the film “Hind Rajab”, a six-year-old girl shot dead by troops during the genocidal war on Gaza. Israeli forces stormed the campus shortly before the screening. The Israeli army said it targeted a “gathering in support of terrorism” at the university.
‘Started shooting’
Reporting from Birzeit University, Al Jazeera’s Nida Ibrahim said that in total 41 people were wounded in the attack, with 11 hospitalised. “It was unprecedented. People are telling us they’ve never seen anything like it. We are talking about the first time for an Israeli raid inside the campus where the students are taking their classes, and while the Israeli forces started shooting live ammunition, not just tear gas,” Ibrahim said. “[For Palestinians] living under occupation, with limited options with so many restrictions, they rely on education to have jobs, to have a life, to sustain their families. But now we’re looking at a state of worry among many students. No place is immune from Israeli assaults.” Palestine’s Ministry of Education and Higher Education condemned the violent incursion and said the attack disregarded all international norms and conventions when it comes to education facilities. The assault will not “break the will of Palestinian students or staff”, the ministry said, calling on the International Association of Universities, the Association of Arab Universities, and international human rights organisations to denounce the Israeli shooting.
‘Nail in the coffin’
Meanwhile, Israel on Tuesday cleared the final hurdle before starting construction on a controversial settlement project near East Jerusalem that would effectively cut the occupied West Bank into two, according to a government tender. A tender seeking bids from developers clears the way to begin construction of the E1 project. The anti-settlement monitoring group Peace Now first reported the tender. Yoni Mizrahi, who runs the group’s settlement watch division, said initial work could begin within the month. Settlement development in E1, an open tract of land east of Jerusalem, has been under consideration for more than two decades, but was frozen because of US pressure during previous administrations. The international community overwhelmingly considers Israeli settlement construction in the West Bank to be illegal and an obstacle to peace. The E1 project is especially contentious because it runs from the outskirts of Jerusalem deep into the occupied West Bank. Critics say it would prevent the establishment of a contiguous Palestinian state in the territory. Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, a far-right politician who oversees settlement policy, has long pushed for the plan to become a reality. “The Palestinian state is being erased from the table not with slogans but with actions,” Smotrich said in August when Israel gave final approval to the plan. “Every settlement, every neighbourhood, every housing unit is another nail in the coffin of this dangerous idea.”} Video - Source: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/1/6/israeli-forces-injure-11-palestinian-in-university-raid-in-ramallah

{Qatar says it’s engaged with mediators to reopen Rafah crossing into Gaza
Humanitarian groups say Israeli restrictions continue to hamper aid deliveries, a clear violation of truce deal. The Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs has said Doha is engaged with mediators to reopen the Rafah crossing into besieged Gaza and deliver aid. Communications are ongoing, Foreign Ministry spokesman Majed al-Ansari said in a news conference on Tuesday, though more details were not immediately available. “We are working with mediator[s] to ensure we reach the second phase of Gaza ceasefire. We demanded that humanitarian aid is not used as a political blackmail,” al-Ansari said. Reopening Gaza’s Rafah crossing with Egypt was a condition of the first phase of the ceasefire that went into effect on October 10. But it has remained closed as humanitarian groups say Israeli restrictions continue to hamper aid deliveries, a clear violation of the agreement. The crossing had long been Gaza’s only connection to the outside world until the Israeli military occupied the Palestinian side in May 2024. The latest rumour of a potential reopening came on January 1, when Israel’s broadcaster Kan reported that Israeli authorities were preparing to reopen the crossing in “both directions” following pressure from United States President Donald Trump. A two-way opening would mark a shift from an earlier Israeli policy that stated the crossing would only open “exclusively for the exit of residents from the Gaza Strip to Egypt”. The policy drew condemnation from regional governments, including Egypt and Qatar, with officials warning against the ethnic cleansing of Gaza.
Hope and trepidation over potential reopening
Although many Palestinians expressed relief at the thought of the Rafah crossing reopening for medical treatment and education, others fear it will indeed be used to ferry Palestinians permanently out of Gaza under the guise of fulfilling the ceasefire agreement. Tasnim Jaras, a student in Gaza City, told Al Jazeera that it was her “dream that the crossing opens so we can continue our education”. Moaeen al-Jarousha, who was wounded in the war, said he needed to leave Gaza to receive medical treatment abroad. “I need immediate medical intervention. I live in very difficult conditions,” he said. Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud, reporting from Gaza City, said many families see Rafah as “an opportunity to reunite with family members who have been separated for too long”. “But hope here is never simple,” he added. “People here have heard about these announcements numerous times, and many recall how quickly it shut again.” And although Palestinians hope that Rafah will allow for movement both in and out of Gaza, “we know the Israeli military is pushing for Rafah to be just a one-way exit”, Mahmoud said. Israel has meanwhile kept up its bombardment of Gaza in violation of the ceasefire. On Monday, Israeli forces bombed a tent where displaced Palestinians were sheltering, killing a five-year-old girl and her uncle, officials said. Four others, including children, were wounded. The killings brought the number of Palestinians killed by Israeli forces since the truce came into effect in October to at least 422, according to Gaza health authorities.} Video - Source: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/1/6/qatar-says-its-engaged-with-mediators-to-reopen-rafah-crossing-into-gaza

{Israel Refuses to Reopen Rafah Crossing as Humanitarian Crisis Worsens
Israel’s decision comes as it also revoked the licences of 37 international non-governmental organisations (INGOs) working in Gaza and the occupied West Bank, “blocking life-saving aid."
Gaza (QNN)- ICC-wanted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has refused to reopen the Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt until the body of the latest Israeli captive is returned, despite the ceasefire and warnings that the humanitarian situation in the war-torn Strip is rapidly deteriorating. On Sunday night, Netanyahu added that the decision was in agreement with the Trump administration, according to Israel's public broadcaster Kan. Last week, there were reports that Israel was preparing to reopen the Rafah crossing after Netanyahu returned from a visit to the US. Israel’s Kan 11 news reported that the expected decision came as a result of pressure from Trump.
For Palestinians in Gaza, the Rafah crossing had long been the only connection to the outside world.
Israeli forces occupied the Palestinian side of the crossing in May 2024, destroying its buildings, preventing travel and causing a severe humanitarian crisis, especially for patients. They deployed soldiers in a military buffer zone all across the Philadelphi Corridor, where they remain today. The first phase of Trump’s Gaza ceasefire 20-point plan, which took effect in October to end Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza, had called for Israel to let humanitarian aid into the territory and open “the Rafah crossing in both directions”. Israel, however, has violated the agreement more than 1000 times, killing hundreds of civilians and restricting the entry of much-needed aid. The Palestinian factions in Gaza say retrieval efforts have been complicated by the widespread destruction in Gaza after two years of genocide, with roughly 88 percent of buildings damaged or destroyed as well as by Israeli restrictions on the entry of heavy machinery and bulldozers to help with the search. Israel, meanwhile, continues to occupy 53 percent of Gaza Israel’s decision comes as it also revoked the licences of 37 international non-governmental organisations (INGOs) working in Gaza and the occupied West Bank, “blocking life-saving aid."} Video - Source: https://qudsnen.co/post?id=67011&slug=israel-refuses-to-reopen-rafah-crossing-as-humanitarian-crisis-worsens

{Italy Arrests Seven Over Alleged Hamas Support
Hannoun said that he is "neither closely nor remotely" related to Hamas.
Rome (QNN)- Italian police have reportedly issued arrest warrants for nine people over allegedly supporting Hamas, despite affirmations that they were supporting Palestinians in the war-torn Gaza Strip. The money was collected as humanitarian aid for Palestinians in the Gaza Strip amid the Israeli genocide, however, a police statement last week claimed it was sent to Hamas via a "complex fundraising system". Police alleged the suspects are "specifically accused of carrying out financing operations believed to have contributed to terrorist activities". Investigators uncovered a "complex" system of fundraising, which was headquartered in Genoa with branches in Milan, the statement added. "The suspects collected donations intended for the civilian population of Gaza, however, it emerged that over 71% of these funds were diverted to Hamas's coffers to finance its military wing and support the families of suicide bombers or those detained for terrorism," the police statement said. Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi said the most well-known of the arrested people was Mohammad Hannoun, the president of the Palestinian Association in Italy. Hannoun said that he is "neither closely nor remotely" related to Hamas. "I have always declared with utmost transparency that I am a Palestinian citizen and publicly support the legitimate resistance of the Palestinian people," he told reporters. Hannoun, born in 1962 in Jordan and resident in Genoa for many years, is an architect by profession and is known in Italy for his political and social activism in support of the Palestinian cause. “I am simply a Palestinian who has been engaged for decades in the struggle for the rights of his people. Hamas received more than 70 percent of the vote in Gaza and the West Bank, so it is a legitimate representative of the Palestinian people. And I am a sympathizer of Hamas, just as I am of every faction that fights for my rights,” he said in a recent interview with the Italian daily Il Fatto Quotidiano. Of the nine arrest warrants issued, seven were in Italy, with two suspects believed to be in Turkey and Gaza, Genoa chief prosecutor Nicola Piacente said. Hannoun's lawyer Fabio Sommovigo told Italian news agency AGI the case was based on Israeli authorities' interpretation of money movements and that funds were collected peacefully for humanitarian purposes. The arrests come amid massive anti-genocide, pro-Palestine protests in Italy in recent months that have drawn hundreds of thousands of people across the country. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s right-wing government has been criticized for its inaction regarding the Israeli genocide and blockade in Gaza.

{Israeli Diaspora Minister Calls Tucker Carlson a “Major Threat,” Accuses Him of Backing Hamas
Israel’s diaspora minister has labeled US journalist Tucker Carlson the “biggest threat” to Israel, accusing him of supporting Hamas and “Islamic extremism."
Occupied Palestine (QNN)- Israel’s Minister for Diaspora Affairs, Amichai Chikli, has launched a smear attack on US media figure Tucker Carlson. He described Carlson as “the biggest threat” to Israel, according to his remarks. Chikli made the comments during an interview with an Israeli television channel. He claimed that Carlson now poses the main danger to the occupation state of Israel inside the United States. “Clearly, in the United States today, the biggest threat is Tucker Carlson,” Chikli said. He alleged that Carlson receives funding from Qatar. He also accused him of promoting its agenda. Chikli claimed Carlson has become a supporter of Islamic law. He also accused him of defending Hamas and attacked him for opposing Islamophobia. According to Chikli, Carlson has shifted into what he described as a defender of “Islamic extremism.”  He did not provide evidence to support the allegations. The Israeli minister also addressed tensions with Israeli communities in Europe. He said disagreements exist over Israel’s actions. However, he denied a complete rupture in relations. “We are not in a state of boycott,” Chikli said. He claimed to maintain friendly ties with Jewish leaders. He said he met recently with Jewish community leadership in Europe, including figures in France. Chikli said “the main challenge is Islamic extremism”, not the European far-right. He accused Australian leaders of avoiding the term “Islamic extremism” to describe the Bondi attack. He criticized that Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Foreign Minister Penny Wong focused on hate speech and gun control. Chikli also attacked Europeans who oppose Israel’s crimes. He accused them of hiding behind political correctness. He said leaders who cannot focus on “Islamic extremism” are unfit for office.} Video - Source: https://qudsnen.co/post?id=67009&slug=israeli-diaspora-minister-calls-tucker-carlson-a-major-threat-accuses-him-of-backing-hamas


Searching for my existence
Al Jazeera - Jan 6, 2026 Mohammad Mansour
{Gaza children risk snipers to attend tent schools
Students in Beit Lahiya are attending makeshift classes in the dangerous ‘yellow zone’ near Israeli positions, as UNICEF warns that trauma has left 25 percent of children with speech impediments. In a small tent overshadowed by the sound of nearby gunfire, seven-year-old Tulin prepares for her first day of school in two years. For most children, this would be a moment of excitement. For Tulin and her mother, it is a chapter of terror. The relentless Israeli war has destroyed the vast majority of Gaza’s educational infrastructure, forcing families to create makeshift “tent schools” in dangerous proximity to Israeli forces — an area demarcated by Israel as the “yellow zone” west of the separation line, often just a few metres away from danger. “Until my daughter gets to school, I honestly walk with my heart in my hand,” Tulin’s mother told Al Jazeera correspondent Shady Shamieh. “Many times, I find myself involuntarily following her until she reaches the school. I feel there is something [dangerous], but I want her to learn,” she added. “If not for this situation, she would be in second grade now. But we are determined.”
‘Take the sleeping position’
The journey to the classroom is perilous. Walking through the rubble of Beit Lahiya, Tulin admits she is terrified of the open spaces. “When I go to school, I am afraid of the shooting,” Tulin said. “I can’t find a wall to hide behind so the shelling or stray bullets don’t hit us.” Inside the tents, protection is nonexistent. The canvas walls cannot stop bullets, yet the students sit on the ground, determined to learn. Their teacher describes a harrowing daily routine where education is frequently interrupted by the crack of sniper fire. “The location is difficult, close to the occupation [forces],” the teacher explained. “When the shooting starts, we tell the children: ‘Take the sleeping position.’ I get goosebumps, praying to God that no injuries occur. We make them lie on the ground until the shooting stops.” “We have been exposed to gunfire more than once,” she added. “Despite this, we remain. The occupation’s policy is ignorance, and our policy is knowledge.” Among the students is Ahmed, who lost his father in the war. “We come with difficulty and leave with difficulty because of the shooting,” he told Al Jazeera. “But I want to fulfil the dream of my martyred father, who wanted to see me become a doctor.” ‘One of the biggest catastrophes’
The desperate scenes in Beit Lahiya reflect a wider collapse of the education system in the enclave. Speaking to Al Jazeera Arabic on Monday, Kazem Abu Khalaf, the spokesperson for UNICEF in Palestine, described the situation as “one of the biggest catastrophes”. “Our figures indicate that 98 percent of all schools in the Gaza Strip have suffered varying degrees of damage, ranging up to total destruction,” Abu Khalaf said. He noted that 88 percent of these schools require either comprehensive rehabilitation or complete reconstruction. The human toll is staggering: approximately 638,000 school-aged children and 70,000 kindergarten-aged children have lost two full academic years and are entering a third year of deprivation.
Trauma and speech impediments
While UNICEF and its partners have established 109 temporary learning centres serving 135,000 students, the psychological scars of the war are surfacing in alarming ways. Abu Khalaf revealed that field teams have observed severe developmental regression among students. “In one area, [colleagues] monitored that approximately 25 percent of the children we are trying to target have developed speech difficulties,” Abu Khalaf said. “This requires redoubled efforts from educational specialists.”
The ban on books
Beyond the structural destruction and trauma, the education sector faces a logistical blockade. Abu Khalaf confirmed that since the war began in October 2023, virtually no educational materials have been allowed into the Strip. “The biggest challenge, in truth, is that … almost no learning materials have entered Gaza at all,” he said. UNICEF is currently preparing to launch a “Back to Learning” campaign targeting 200,000 children, focusing on Arabic, English, maths and science, alongside recreational activities to “repair the children’s psyche before anything else”. However, Abu Khalaf emphasised that the success of any campaign depends on Israel lifting restrictions. “We are communicating with all parties, including the Israeli side, to allow the entry of learning materials,” he said. “It is not in anyone’s interest for a child in Gaza not to go to school.”} Video - Source: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/1/6/gaza-children-risk-snipers-to-attend-tent-schools

{Israel kills two in Gaza as Palestinians call for Rafah crossing to open
Israeli forces bomb a tent in al-Mawasi, killing a five-year-old girl and her uncle, and taking the death toll since the truce to at least 422. Israel has launched intense artillery and helicopter attacks on southern Gaza despite a United States-brokered ceasefire, bombing a tent housing displaced Palestinians and killing a five-year-old girl and her uncle, according to officials. The killings on Monday brought the number of Palestinians killed by Israeli forces since the truce came into effect in October to at least 422, according to Gaza health authorities. The Nasser Medical Complex in southern Khan Younis said the deadly Israeli strike hit a tent in the coastal al-Mawasi area, and that four others, including children, were also wounded. Israel’s military said it struck a Hamas fighter who was planning to attack Israeli forces “in the immediate timeframe”. But the military did not provide evidence for the claim, and it was not clear if its statement referred to the tent attack. Despite the ceasefire, Israeli forces have continued near-daily attacks on Gaza and have maintained restrictions on the entry of humanitarian aid. Much of the enclave has been devastated by Israel’s genocidal war, with roughly 88 percent of buildings damaged or destroyed, Palestinian officials say. Most of Gaza’s two million people are now living in tents, makeshift shelters or damaged buildings in areas vacated by Israeli troops. The Palestinian Civil Defence said on Monday that another Palestinian home damaged in earlier Israeli strikes collapsed in the central Maghazi camp, killing a 29-year-old father and his eight-year-old son. But the rescue service said in a subsequent statement that it was unable to respond to requests to remove hazards caused by damaged buildings because of a lack of equipment and continuing fuel shortages. The Gaza ceasefire, agreed upon after more than two years of Israeli attacks that killed more than 71,000 people, is being implemented in phases. The first stage includes exchanges of captives and prisoners, increased humanitarian aid and the reopening of Gaza’s Rafah border crossing with Egypt. Hamas has freed all remaining living captives and returned dozens of bodies, except for one, while Israel has released nearly 2,000 Palestinian detainees and prisoners, including some serving life sentences.
Hopes for Rafah crossing
However, humanitarian groups say that Israeli restrictions continue to hamper aid deliveries, while Gaza’s Rafah crossing with Egypt remains closed. The crossing had long been Gaza’s only connection to the outside world until the Israeli military occupied the Palestinian side in May 2024. Israel’s Kan broadcaster reported on January 1 that Israeli authorities are preparing to reopen the crossing in “both directions” following pressure from US President Donald Trump.

Moaeen al-Jarousha, who was wounded in the war, said he needed to leave Gaza to receive medical treatment abroad. “I need immediate medical intervention. I live in very difficult conditions,” he said. Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud, reporting from Gaza City, said Palestinians in Gaza have been waiting for the crossing to open for a long time. “For many, this isn’t about travel, it’s about survival. Parents are asking about medical access they haven’t been able to obtain over the past two years. Students think of this as an opportunity to continue their education,” he said. “And for many families, this is an opportunity to reunite with family members who have been separated for too long. But hope here is never simple. People here have heard about these announcements numerous times, and many recall how quickly it shut again,” he added. Israel, meanwhile, continues to retain control of 53 percent of Gaza, and witnesses on Monday reported continued demolitions of residential homes in the eastern Zeitoun neighbourhood of Gaza City. The Israeli military also said it attacked a Palestinian who had crossed the so-called “yellow line” – an unmarked boundary where the Israeli military repositioned itself when the truce came into effect – in southern Gaza on Monday with the aim of “removing the threat”. It did not provide evidence for the claim. Israel also said it had carried out strikes against Hezbollah and Hamas targets in southern and eastern Lebanon.} Video - Source: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/1/6/israel-kills-two-in-gaza-as-palestinians-call-for-rafah-crossing-to-open
