{Extreme cold kills another infant in Gaza as Israel blocks vital aid
Israel continues to block vital necessities, such as mobile homes, as the Palestinian enclave is hit by harsh weather conditions. A seven-day-old infant has died due to the extreme cold in the Gaza Strip as the Israeli blockade of vital necessities worsens the humanitarian crisis in the Palestinian enclave. Medical sources told Al Jazeera on Saturday that Mahmoud Al-Aqraa died in Deir el-Balah in central Gaza amid rapidly decreasing temperatures. Palestinians living in makeshift tents have little protection from the strong wind and rain, as most shelters are made of thin canvas and plastic sheeting. Israel continues to limit the number of tents and sustainable shelters entering Gaza, in violation of the ceasefire it agreed with Hamas in October. It has also blocked other vital necessities, such as mobile homes, as well as tools and materials to fix the damaged tents. Temperatures at night in Gaza have been falling to as low as nine degrees Celsius (48 degrees Fahrenheit) in recent days. In a statement, Gaza’s Civil Defence said on Friday that “every low-pressure system turns into a humanitarian disaster in light of the prevention of the entry of building materials and the disruption of reconstruction.” The organisation warned of a “catastrophe” due to the “low-pressure system that caused serious damage to temporary shelters, and thousands of tents were completely damaged”. The Civil Defence urged citizens to secure their tents to prevent them from being blown away, given that mobile homes are not allowed to enter. “What is happening is not a weather crisis, but a direct result of preventing the entry of building materials and disrupting reconstruction, as people are living in torn tents and cracked houses without safety or dignity,” Civil Defence spokesman Mahmoud Basal said. He also said Palestinians were forced to set up their tents on the beach due to the lack of available space inside the cities as a result of the extensive Israeli destruction of them. Al Jazeera’s Hind Khoudary, reporting from Gaza City, said many tents she visited have been destroyed. “There is no way to fix these tents, because the families do not have the materials to do that,” she said, adding that people whose tents are destroyed are forced to look for somewhere else to stay, and move to become displaced over and over again. The meteorological authority in Gaza has warned that strong winds are expected to continue, and a further drop in temperatures is expected in the enclave. In a statement to the AFP news agency last week, Amjad Shawa, director of the Palestinian NGO Network in Gaza, said about 1.5 million of Gaza’s 2.2 million residents have lost their homes in the war. Of more than 300,000 tents requested to shelter displaced people, “we have received only 60,000,” Shawa said, pointing to Israeli restrictions on the delivery of humanitarian aid. In a separate development, an Israeli quadcopter killed a Palestinian man who was being transferred to a hospital in Khan Younis in southern Gaza, medical sources told Al Jazeera on Saturday. Nearly 80 percent of buildings in Gaza have been destroyed or damaged by Israel during its genocidal two-year war, according to the United Nations.} Video - Source: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/1/10/extreme-cold-kills-another-infant-in-gaza-as-israel-blocks-vital-aid


Seven-Day-Old Baby Dies of Cold
Quds news - Jan 10, 2026
{Seven-Day-Old Baby Dies of Cold in Gaza as Israel’s Blockade and Winter Storm Deepen Displacement Crisis
A seven-day-old baby has died from extreme cold in central Gaza as Israel’s blockade and a powerful winter storm leave displaced families trapped in torn tents, with officials warning that the crisis is turning every storm into a humanitarian disaster.
Gaza (QNN)- A seven-day-old baby died from extreme cold in Deir al-Balah in central Gaza, as Israel's ongoing blockade and a new winter storm worsened the suffering of displaced families living in tents, raising fears of a humanitarian catastrophe. Hospitals in Gaza said the infant, Mahmoud Al-Aqra, arrived at Shuhada' Al-Aqsa Hospital in critical condition. Doctors later confirmed his death after severe exposure to cold, amid a lack of proper heating and basic shelter.
Official data shows that at least four children have died from cold-related causes inside displacement tents, as Gaza continues to face harsh humanitarian conditions and widespread shelter shortages. Gaza’s Civil Defense warned that every winter storm now turns into a humanitarian disaster due to the Israeli ban on the entry of construction materials and the obstruction of reconstruction efforts. It said the latest low-pressure system caused severe damage to temporary shelters, with thousands of tents either fully destroyed or badly damaged. The Civil Defense urged displaced families to secure their tents to prevent them from being blown away by strong winds, especially as authorities still block the entry of mobile homes and proper housing units. Civil Defense spokesperson Mahmoud Basal said the situation is not a weather crisis but a direct result of preventing building materials and halting reconstruction. He added that people now live in torn tents and cracked homes without safety or dignity. Basal also said many Palestinians were forced to set up tents along the coastline because Israeli destruction left no available space inside cities. He stressed that conditions in Gaza fall far below minimum humanitarian standards and amount to a grave violation of humanitarian principles and international humanitarian law. Hundreds of tents were damaged by strong winds, as the Meteorological Department warned that harsh weather conditions will continue, with dropping temperatures and persistent gusts. Israeli airstrikes on the outskirts of the Beach Camp, northwest of Gaza City, also damaged displacement tents and destroyed their contents, forcing families to spend the night outdoors. The new storm began on Friday, bringing heavy rain and strong winds across the Gaza Strip. On Saturday, the Palestinian Meteorological Department said scattered rainfall remains possible in several areas, while wind speeds may reach up to 60 kilometers per hour. Since the ceasefire agreement took effect on October 10, Israel has failed to meet its commitments under the deal, including allowing the entry of tents, mobile homes, construction materials, and supplies needed to repair water and sewage networks, according to official data. During the previous storm at the end of December, hundreds of tents housing displaced families along the coast of Khan Younis in southern Gaza were flooded after sea waves surged inland. Since December, repeated winter storms have also caused dozens of previously damaged residential buildings to collapse, leading to additional casualties. These weather systems have further deepened Gaza’s humanitarian crisis, which has seen no real improvement despite the end of the war, due to Israel’s failure to honor the ceasefire commitments. The agreement ended a war of genocide launched by Israel on October 8, 2023, which lasted two years and killed more than 71,000 Palestinians, injured over 171,000 others, and destroyed around 90 percent of Gaza’s civilian infrastructure. The United Nations estimates reconstruction costs at nearly $70 billion.} Video - Source: https://qudsnen.co/post?id=67031&slug=seven-day-old-baby-dies-of-cold-in-gaza-as-israels-blockade-and-winter-storm-deepen-displacement-crisis

{US Judge Dismisses Lawsuit Seeking Emergency Evacuation of Palestinian Americans Trapped in Gaza
A US federal judge dismissed a lawsuit by Palestinian Americans seeking emergency evacuation from Gaza, ruling that rescue and foreign policy decisions fall outside the court’s authority despite the severe humanitarian conditions.
Chicago (QNN)- A US federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit that sought to force the US government to carry out emergency rescues of Palestinian Americans and their families trapped in Gaza during the US-Israeli genocide, reported Reuters. Chief Judge Virginia Kendall of the US District Court in Chicago issued the ruling on Thursday. She said the court lacks the authority to decide matters tied to foreign policy and evacuations, which fall under the Executive Branch. The case was brought by nine Palestinian Americans who are US citizens or lawful permanent residents. They sued the government in December 2024, arguing it violated their constitutional right to equal protection by failing to evacuate them as it would do for other Americans. The plaintiffs said they faced extreme conditions in Gaza, including destroyed homes, food shortages, lack of medical care, and severe psychological distress. They argued these hardships created a mandatory duty for the US government to evacuate them from Gaza. Judge Kendall said she sympathized with the plaintiffs and described their situation as impossible. However, she said the court lacked both jurisdiction and practical tools to resolve such claims. In her ruling, Kendall said she could not assess how an evacuation should be coordinated with neighboring countries. She also cited the alleged dangers of moving people through what she referred to as active combat zones and the challenge of determining who qualifies for evacuation. She noted that the United States has no diplomatic presence in Gaza, which, according to her, further complicates any rescue effort. Kendall said answering these questions from the courtroom would intrude on powers assigned by the Constitution to political branches. The judge also claimed that available evidence showed the US government had developed an evacuation plan. She added that the nine plaintiffs had either already left Gaza or declined evacuation offers that excluded extended family members. The lawsuit originally named former US President Joe Biden, former Secretary of State Antony Blinken, and former Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin. It continues against their successors, President Donald Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. The US State Department did not respond to requests for comment. The ruling comes amid Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza. Israel has murdered more than 71,000 Palestinians since it launched its offensive over two years ago.} Video - Source: https://qudsnen.co/post?id=67030&slug=us-judge-dismisses-lawsuit-seeking-emergency-evacuation-of-palestinian-americans-trapped-in-gaza

{Haaretz: Settlers Use an Army of Israeli Minors to Harass and Expel Native Palestinians from Their Villages
An investigation by Haaretz reveals how Israeli settlers deploy groups of armed “child soldiers” to systematically harass Palestinian communities, exhaust residents through daily violence, and force families to flee their villages, while authorities never intervene.
Occupied West Bank (QNN)- Israeli minors are playing a growing role in attacks on Palestinian communities across the occupied West Bank, according to a report by Israeli Haaretz. The incidents form part of a broader pattern of forced displacement that has uprooted dozens of native Palestinians in recent years. The report reveals that Israelis send children, some as young as 12, regularly from illegal settlement outposts to harass Bedouin and rural Palestinian communities. They arrive on foot, on tractors, or riding ATVs. They herd flocks into Palestinian residential areas, vandalize property, threaten residents, and damage water infrastructure that communities rely on for survival. The violence follows a clear and repeated pattern. Minors enter communities day and night. They empty water tanks, uproot pipes, destroy solar panels, break fences, and intimidate residents, including women and elderly people. In many cases, they carry clubs, knives, or other weapons. Some incidents include physical assaults on Palestinians and Israeli activists who document the attacks. The report reveals that these acts are not random. It describes a division of labor between minors and adults. Children exhaust communities through constant harassment over weeks or months. Armed adults then arrive to deliver more violent attacks, forcing residents to flee. Several activists describe the minors as “child soldiers” used to carry out a long-term strategy of displacement. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is wanted by the ICC over war crimes in Gaza, recently described settler violence as the work of “a handful of children.” He claimed the youths come from “broken homes” and number around 70. Human rights groups say this claim is misleading and contradicted by extensive evidence. Data from Israeli organizations Kerem Navot and B’Tselem shows that more than 70 Palestinian herding communities were forcibly displaced between 2022 and November 2025. The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs reports that around 700 native families, totaling nearly 3,900 people, were uprooted during this period. At the same time, settlement farming outposts expanded their control over an estimated 700,000 to 800,000 dunams of land. These areas were traditionally used by Palestinians for grazing and agriculture. Access to the land has now been almost entirely blocked. As of November, there were 360 settlement outposts in the West Bank. About 140 were established since the start of the genocide. Most are individual farming outposts that rely heavily on Israeli minors to maintain daily attacks and territorial control.
Despite years of warnings, Israeli authorities have never intervened. Activists say welfare authorities rarely intervene, even when children appear neglected, ill, or physically endangered.} Video - Source: https://qudsnen.co/post?id=67033&slug=haaretz-settlers-use-an-army-of-israeli-minors-to-harass-and-expel-native-palestinians-from-their-villages

{Bot Networks Promoting Netanyahu and Israel on Social Media, Israeli Report
An Israeli TV investigation says automated bot networks flood social media with likes and shares to amplify posts by Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his allies, shaping online discourse and silencing critics.
Occupied Palestine (QNN)- An investigation by Israel’s Channel 12 News has found that about half of the politically active accounts on Israeli social media are not real people but automated bots. The report said many of these bots actively promote posts by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is wanted by the ICC over war crimes in Gaza, and members of his coalition. The investigation, aired Friday night, found that bots rush to like and share posts almost immediately after publication. This early activity pushes content into social media algorithms and helps it reach wider audiences. The investigation found another clear sign of manipulation. While comments on such posts often appeared negative, shared versions skewed heavily positive, which experts said points to bot amplification. In some cases, the report said, human influencers post first to trigger the algorithm. Bots then reinforce and spread the content at scale. The report warned that bots also play a major role in spreading libel. The report estimated that around half of Israel’s politically active accounts are bots, a level similar to global trends. Some bots are simple and easy to identify, while others use advanced artificial intelligence and closely mimic real users. Experts said some bots mainly collect data rather than shape public opinion. Others focus directly on manipulating online discourse.} Video - Source: https://qudsnen.co/post?id=67029&slug=bot-networks-promoting-netanyahu-and-israel-on-social-media-israeli-report

{UK Medical Tribunal Dismisses Complaint by Israeli Group Against Palestinian British Doctor Ghassan Abu Sitta
The UK medical tribunal rejected all accusations against Palestinian British doctor Ghassan Abu Sitta after a pro-Israel legal group accused him of terrorism, violence, and antisemitism over his Gaza genocide testimonies.
London (QNN)- The UK General Medical Council (GMC) Tribunal has dismissed a complaint filed by a zionist group against Palestinian British doctor Ghassan Abu Sitta. The complaint came from the pro-Israel group UK Lawyers for Israel. It accused Abu Sitta of supporting terrorism, supporting violence, and antisemitism.The tribunal rejected all accusations. In an interview with Quds News Network, Dr. Abu Sitta said the case relied on his medical testimonies from Gaza and statements by others. He provided these testimonies while working as a doctor during Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Abu Sitta said the zionist group filed ten complaints against him across several institutions. These included four attempts to pressure the University of Glasgow to withdraw his nomination as university rector. Other complaints targeted the Scottish government’s education department, the UK Charity Commission, and the GMC twice. Abu Sitta said the group's goal was not to win cases. He said the goal was financial and psychological exhaustion. He described it as an effort to silence critics of Israel and create a climate of fear. He said the case lasted six months, adding that his legal team had to launch a fundraising campaign to cover legal costs. The pro-Israeli group published articles from the first day of the hearing. Abu Sitta said they falsely claimed victory and alleged the GMC accused him of terrorism and antisemitism. "Such campaigns aim to justify the killing of more than 1,700 Palestinian medical workers in Gaza", Abu Sitta stated. “We defend the right to speak,” Abu Sitta added, urging people not to stay silent about Gaza. “This battle depends on people continuing to speak,” he added. Ghassan Abu Sitta is a Palestinian British surgeon and associate professor of plastic and reconstructive surgery. He is the first Arab doctor to develop a specialized academic curriculum on conflict and war medicine. He has volunteered as a surgeon in Syria, Iraq, Yemen, and Gaza. He survived the Israeli attack on Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza. Abu Sitta has given several medical testimonies from Gaza. His latest testimony, aired on Al Jazeera, documented evidence of Israeli organ theft from Palestinian victims.} Video - Source: https://qudsnen.co/post?id=67028&slug=uk-medical-tribunal-dismisses-complaint-by-israeli-group-against-palestinian-british-doctor-ghassan-abu-sitta

{Lisbon: Israeli Restaurant Serving Stolen Palestinian Dishes and Named After Massacre to Close After Pro-Palestine Campaign
The restaurant was founded in 2017, serving hummus, sambusak and shakshuka, well-known Arab and Palestinian dishes, in Lisbon's main entertainment district.
(QNN)- An Israeli-owned restaurant in Lisbon announced on Tuesday that it will close following a pro-Palestine campaign amid the genocide in Gaza as the restaurant was serving stolen Palestinian dishes and named after the Tantura massacre. In a post on Facebook, the owners of Tantura said that they will close its doors with "the war and the alarming rise in antisemitism in the world" over the past two years, Israel's Channel 12 on Thursday said. Over the past two years, since October 2023, Israel committed genocide against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, killing over 71,000 Palestinians, destroying more than 80% of the structures, wiping out entire neighborhoods and using starvation as a weapon of war. A “Free Palestine” graffiti appeared on the restaurant wall, which the Israeli restaurant’s owners claimed to be antisemitic. The restaurant was founded in 2017, serving hummus, sambusak and shakshuka, well-known Arab and Palestinian dishes, in Lisbon's main entertainment district.  Its name, Tantura, referred to the Palestinian village of Tantura, the site of a massacre of Palestinians which took place in 1948 along with multiple massacres in Palestinian villages by Zionist gangs in a bid to forcefully expel at least 750,000 Palestinians from their homes and land, a tragedy Palestinians refer to as the Nakba, or catastrophe. In 2022, Israeli daily Haaretz confirmed the discovery of a mass grave in Tantura village. The owners of the restaurant said The name Tantura was inspired by the beach where they met and later married. The Haaretz probe said the graves of at least 200 Palestinians buried after their execution were located under the Dor Beach parking lot.} Video - Source: https://qudsnen.co/post?id=67027&slug=lisbon-israeli-restaurant-serving-stolen-palestinian-dishes-and-named-after-massacre-to-close-after-pro-palestine-campaign


Israel Breaching Ceasefire
Quds news - Jan 9, 2026
{How Many Times Has Israel Breached Ceasefire Agreement in Gaza in 90 Days?
At least 484 Palestinians have been killed and 1,206 others wounded in Israeli attacks on Gaza since the ceasefire began, it added.
Gaza (QNN)- Gaza’s Government Media Office on Friday condemned Israel’s “serious and systematic violations” of the ceasefire agreement, noting that Israel had breached the truce over 1190 times since it came into force on October 10.
Attacks and Killings
The Office said Israel shot at civilians 384 times, raided residential areas beyond the “yellow line” 66 times, bombed and shelled Gaza 551 times, and demolished people’s properties on 192 occasions. It added that Israel had also abducted 50 Palestinians from Gaza. At least 484 Palestinians have been killed and 1,206 others wounded in Israeli attacks on Gaza since the ceasefire began, it added.
Humanitarian Aid
Israel has also continued to block essential humanitarian aid from entering the enclave despite the ceasefire stipulating that “full aid will be immediately sent into the Gaza Strip”. From October 10 to January 9, only 23,019 trucks have entered Gaza out of 54,000, averaging 255 trucks per day. That is only 43 percent of the trucks allocated. In addition, Israel has blocked essential and nutritious food items, including meat, dairy, and vegetables, crucial for a balanced diet. Instead, non-nutritious foodstuffs are being allowed, such as snacks, chocolate, crisps, and soft drinks.
Shelters
The Office has warned of a rapidly deepening and unprecedented humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip, as Israel continues to close border crossings and block the entry of tents, mobile homes, caravans, and other essential shelter materials, “in clear violation of existing agreements and international humanitarian law.” The Office pointed to recent storms which have caused the collapse of 50 homes and buildings that had previously been damaged by Israeli bombardment, killing 15 civilians. People have also died from extreme cold inside tents. Meanwhile, more than 127,000 tents are no longer usable, leaving over 1.5 million displaced people without even the most basic level of protection.
What Hamas Says?
At least 14 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks across Gaza since Thursday morning, with strikes targeting shelters, tents, and residential homes.
On Thursday, Hamas condemned Israel’s recent bombardment of the Gaza Strip, describing it as a “dangerous criminal escalation” and a “blatant violation” of the ceasefire agreement. The group said the Israeli attack on Gaza “aims to disrupt the situation, evade the agreement’s obligations, and obstruct the transition to the second phase.” According to the Palestinian Civil Defense in Gaza, Israel has killed five children in less than 24 hours in attacks across the devastated territory, the youngest of whom was five years old. The Palestinian group has called on the mediators and the states guaranteeing the ceasefire agreement to “condemn these serious violations, carried out under flimsy and fabricated pretexts by war criminal Netanyahu, and to exert pressure on the occupation to halt them and fully adhere to the terms of the agreement.” Senior Hamas official Ghazi Hamad has warned that Israel’s “blatant and outrageous violations” threaten the ceasefire agreement. Hamad, who is also a member of Hamas’s negotiating team, said Israel manipulated the terms of the ceasefire agreement. Mediators confirmed that Hamas did not commit a single violation of the agreement and fully adhered to it, he noted. “The occupation army’s repeated violations are clear evidence that they are planned by the government.” Hamad said that Israel violates the ceasefire 25 times a day. Since the ceasefire took effect, Israel has killed about 400 Palestinians, more than 95% of them were civilians. “Israel killed civilians, particularly women and children, on purpose," and “wiped out entire families,” he said. The official confirmed that the group provided the names of those killed by Israel during the ceasefire “in order to prove that the vast majority of them were civilians. We did, in fact, submit their names and ages, which clearly demonstrated that the killings were deliberately targeting civilians.” Among them 36% were children, 15% women, 4% elderly, and 37% civilian men, “confirming that civilians were targeted despite the ceasefire.” Recently, the group’s Gaza chief, Khalil al-Hayya, confirmed that Israel’s violations risk jeopardising the ceasefire deal in Gaza and the move towards the second and more complicated phase of the fragile agreement. He called on mediators – US President Donald Trump in particular – “to work on obliging Israel to respect the ceasefire and commit to it”.} Video - Source: https://qudsnen.co/post?id=67026&slug=how-many-times-has-israel-breached-ceasefire-agreement-in-gaza-in-90-days

{After Killing Woman and Blocking Doctor From Helping Her in Minneapolis: Are ICE Agents Trained by Israel?
The fatal shooting has sparked questions about similarities between the actions of ICE agents and the treatment and attacks carried out by Israeli forces against Palestinians and whether ICE agents receive training from Israel or are even Israeli soldiers themselves.
Minnesota (QNN)- A US immigration officer fatally shot a woman in her car in Minneapolis, sparking protests in the city over the “reckless use of power.” The ICE shooting has raised questions about similarities between ICE actions and those of Israeli forces, including whether officers receive training in Israel, especially after the officer prevented a doctor from helping the victim. The ICE agent shot and killed on Wednesday a 37-year-old woman in the head in front of a family member, about 1.6 kilometres from where George Floyd was killed by police in 2020, during the Trump administration's latest immigration crackdown on a major American city, a shooting that federal officials claimed was an act of self-defense but that the city's mayor described as "reckless" and unnecessary. Her killing was recorded on video by witnesses, and the scene of the shooting quickly drew a large crowd of angry protesters. The victim, 37-year-old Renee Nicole Macklin Good, had a six-year old child. She described herself on social media as a "poet and writer and wife and mom" who was from Colorado. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey blasted that characterization and the federal deployment of more than 2,000 officers as part of the immigration crackdown in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. "They are not here to cause safety in this city. What they are doing is not to provide safety in America. What they are doing is causing chaos and distrust," Frey said.  "They're ripping families apart. They're sowing chaos on our streets and in this case quite literally killing people." The mayor added: "They are already trying to spin this as an action of self-defence. Having seen the video myself, I wanna tell everybody directly, that is bullshit." "Get the f--k out of Minneapolis. We do not want you here.” One video shows that moments after the ICE agent fatally shot the woman, a man who identified himself as a doctor was barred by officers from checking on the victim. "Can I go check a pulse?," a man asks. An agent tells the man, "No," and to back up. "I'm a physician," the man replied. "I don't care," one agent is heard saying. The fatal shooting has sparked questions about similarities between the actions of ICE agents and the treatment and attacks carried out by Israeli forces against Palestinians and whether ICE agents receive training from Israel or are even Israeli soldiers themselves. Social media users shared a video of Anthony Aguilar, a retired US officer who also worked for the infamous Israeli and US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, during which he says: “ICE trains in Israel — then brings those same apartheid tactics back home.” “ICE is Copying Israel's IDF Playbook in America,” wrote one user on X. In 2017, Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) launched the Deadly Exchange campaign to sever the decades-long collaboration between U.S. law enforcement and the Israeli military. JVP said its Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests revealed that well over a thousand police, sheriffs and federal agents, including the FBI, ICE, and Homeland Security, had flown to Israel for training in surveillance, racial profiling, crowd control, detention, and deportation. } Video - Source: https://qudsnen.co/post?id=67023&slug=after-killing-woman-and-blocking-doctor-from-helping-her-in-minneapolis-are-ice-agents-trained-by-israel

{Israeli attack on Gaza tent kills at least three Palestinians
At least 425 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks since an October ceasefire came into effect, the Health Ministry says. An Israeli attack on a tent in southern Gaza has killed at least three Palestinians and wounded three others, local rescuers say, as Israel continues to bomb the coastal enclave despite an October ceasefire. The Palestinian Civil Defence in Gaza said on Thursday that its teams recovered the bodies of three slain residents after the Israeli military bombed a family’s tent in the al-Mawasi area of Khan Younis. Three others were wounded, including one person who suffered critical injuries, the agency said in a post on Telegram. Separately, Israeli fire killed an 11-year-old Palestinian girl named Hamsa Housou in northern Gaza’s Jabalia area. Her uncle, Khamis Housou, said he woke up to screaming in the family’s building. “I saw Hamsa lying on the floor and blood coming out of her nose and mouth,” he said. The attacks come as Israel has continued its military assault on Gaza despite a United States-brokered ceasefire agreement that came into effect on October 10.
At least 425 Palestinians have been killed and 1,206 others wounded in Israeli attacks since October 11, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza. At the same time, hundreds of thousands of displaced families have been sheltering in makeshift tent camps across Gaza after their homes were destroyed in Israel’s genocidal war against Palestinians in the territory. Israel has refused to allow a free flow of shelter supplies into the Gaza Strip, despite warnings from the United Nations and humanitarian groups that Palestinians are suffering amid a series of deadly winter storms. Encampments have been flooded due to heavy rainfall and flooding in recent weeks, prompting calls from Palestinians for better tents, blankets and warm clothes Doctors Without Borders, known by its French acronym MSF, said this week that Palestinians in Gaza were suffering from “respiratory infections, wound complications [and] skin diseases” as a result of harsh living conditions.

Baby in Gaza dies from cold
Babies are also “suffering from severe cold”, the group said, “all the while Israel continues to block or delay the entry of vital supplies like tents, tarpaulins, and temporary housing”. Meanwhile, Israel has moved to block international aid groups, including MSF and the Norwegian Refugee Council, from operating in the Strip. Israel has revoked the operating licences of 37 aid organisations for failing to comply with new regulations that require them to provide detailed information on staff members, funding and operations. Experts say those requirements contravene humanitarian principles and follow a longstanding Israeli government campaign to vilify and ultimately impede the work of aid groups providing assistance to Palestinians. On Thursday, the Reuters news agency reported that MSF, Medecins du Monde Suisse and the Danish Refugee Council said the Israeli authorities refused to allow their international staff to enter Gaza this week. The targeted groups have said they will be forced to stop providing key services, including healthcare, in Gaza as a result of Israel’s ban, putting Palestinian lives at risk.} Video - Source: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/1/8/israeli-attack-on-gaza-tent-kills-at-least-three-palestinians

{UN Rights Chief Says Israeli Policies Against Palestinians in West Bank ‘Resembles Apartheid System’
"This is a particularly severe form of racial discrimination and segregation that resembles the kind of apartheid system we have seen before," High Commissioner Volker Türk warned.
Occupied West Bank (QNN)- The UN human rights office has issued a report detailing Israel's "systemic discrimination" against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and said Israel’s “oppression and domination” of Palestinians resembles “apartheid”. In a new report on Wednesday, the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights said Israeli laws, policies and practices were having an "asphyxiating impact" on every aspect of daily life for Palestinians and violated an international convention against racial discrimination. "This is a particularly severe form of racial discrimination and segregation that resembles the kind of apartheid system we have seen before," High Commissioner Volker Türk warned. This is the first time a UN human rights chief has explicitly compared Israeli policies in the West Bank to apartheid, which was coined during South Africa’s system of racial segregation that lasted from 1948 to 1994. "Whether accessing water, school, rushing to hospital, visiting family or friends, or harvesting olives - every aspect of life for Palestinians in the West Bank is controlled and curtailed by Israel's discriminatory laws, policies and practices" Türk said in a statement. According to the 42-page report by his office, Israel treats Israeli settlers and Palestinians living in the West Bank under two distinct bodies of law and policies that result in unequal treatment on a range of critical issues.
"Palestinians continue to be subjected to large-scale confiscation of land and deprivation of access to resources. This has had the effect of dispossessing them of their lands and homes, alongside other forms of systemic discrimination, including criminal prosecution in military courts during which their due process and fair trial rights are systematically violated," it finds. The report says there are "reasonable grounds to believe that this separation, segregation, and subordination is intended to be permanent, indicating that these laws, policies, and practices amount to a deliberate policy of physical and juridical separation intended to maintain oppression and domination of Palestinians in the occupied West Bank". It adds that this amounts to a violation of Israel's obligations under the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (ICERD) to prevent racial segregation and apartheid in territories under its jurisdiction. The reports says systemic discrimination against Palestinians has been "a long-standing concern" for the UN but that it has "drastically deteriorated" since at least December 2022 and especially since the start of the Israeli genocide in Gaza in October 2023. It also says that Israel's settlement expansion in the West Bank had intensified over the past two years, citing the approval last month of the construction of 19 new settlements, which Israeli ministers said will block the establishment of a Palestinian state. "Every negative trend documented in the report has not only continued but accelerated. And every day this is allowed to continue, the consequences worsen for Palestinians," Türk warned. Israel has previously rejected the apartheid accusations, saying its policies are driven by “security concerns” rather than racial or ethnic discrimination. The UN rights office said the discrimination in the Palestinian territories is compounded by continuing and escalating settler violence in many cases “with the acquiescence, support and participation of Israel’s security forces”. Last year ​was one of the most violent on record for Israeli settler attacks against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, according to United Nations data that shows more than a thousand Palestinians were killed between October 7, 2023 and October 17, 2025, in Israeli attacks carried out by Israeli forces and settlers, including over 220 children.  In 2025, OCHA documented at least 1,680 settler attacks, an average of five per day. B’Tselem, an Israeli human rights group, said settlers were attacking Palestinians “daily”, including “shooting, beating and threatening residents, throwing stones, torching fields, destroying trees and crops, stealing produce, blocking roads, invading homes, and burning cars”. Israeli settlements are illegal under international law. Today, 600,000 to 750,000 settlers live in more than 250 settlements and outposts across the West Bank and occupied East Jerusalem. Many of these are near Palestinian towns and villages, often leading to attacks on Palestinian residents and severe movement restrictions for Palestinians.} Video - Source: https://qudsnen.co/post?id=67021&slug=un-rights-chief-says-israeli-policies-against-palestinians-in-west-bank-resembles-apartheid-system


Heba Muraisi and Kamran Ahmed have refused food for 67 and 60 days-Courtesy of Amareen Afzal, Shahmina Alam
Al Jazeera - Jan 8, 2026 Anealla Safdar
{Palestine Action hunger strikers near death ‘intent’ on continuing protests
Remand prisoners suffering from host of dangerous symptoms will keep refusing food as the government refuses to meet their demands, their loved ones say.
London, United Kingdom – Heba Muraisi and Kamran Ahmed, Palestine Action-linked British activists on the brink of death, are determined to keep up their prison hunger strike until their demands are met, their friends and relatives have told Al Jazeera. They have refused food for 67 and 60 days, respectively, as part of a rolling protest that began in November. Five of the eight individuals who have participated overall have ended their hunger strikes over health fears. Lewie Chiaramello, who turned 23 on Thursday, is the third prisoner also refusing food. Muraisi, the longest fasting member of the group, “looks very pale and thin”, said her friend Amareen Afzal, who visited the 31-year-old on Wednesday. “Her cheekbones are quite prominent. She looks quite emaciated.” Muraisi, a Londoner who had worked as a florist and lifeguard, is reportedly suffering from muscle spasms, breathlessness, severe pain and a low white blood cell count. She has been admitted to hospital three times over the past nine weeks. Afzal has also noticed the decline of Muraisi’s memory and said it is now “more difficult for her to stay engaged conversationally”. “She speaks of herself as dying and she’s very aware and she is worried,” Afzal said. But Muraisi is “intent on carrying on until the demands are met”, she added. The group of remand prisoners are being held in various jails over their alleged involvement in break-ins at the UK subsidiary of the Israeli defence firm Elbit Systems in Bristol and a Royal Air Force (RAF) base in Oxfordshire. They deny the charges against them. Their protest demands include bail, the right to a fair trial and the de-proscription of Palestine Action, which the UK in July designated as a “terrorist organisation”, putting it on par with ISIL (ISIS) and al-Qaeda. They are calling for all Elbit sites to be closed in the UK and have demanded an end to what they call censorship in prison, accusing authorities of withholding mail, calls and books. All eight individuals will have spent more than a year in prison before their trials take place, well beyond the UK’s usual six-month pre-trial detention limit. At the time of publishing, the Ministry of Defence had not responded to Al Jazeera’s request for comment. ‘It feels like now every time you see him, it could be the last’ Ahmed, a mechanic from London, has lost hearing in his left ear, suffers with chest pains, breathlessness and dizzy spells, and has a low heart rate that intermittently drops below 40 beats per minute, said Shahmina Alam, who visited her 28-year-old brother on Sunday. He was admitted to hospital on Tuesday for a sixth time since he began refusing food in November, she said. “He’s skinny. I describe him a bit like a piece of paper,” she told Al Jazeera. “Where his body’s lost a lot of weight, he’s a bit hunched over. “His cheeks are sticking out. … When he got up to leave, it’s really like slow steps, and you can tell it takes a lot of energy to lift his legs. “It feels like now every time you see him, it could be the last.” She feels anxious as “the more time that’s going, the more resolved he is to continue it and ensure that his demands are met.” Ahmed is “aware that at this stage he could suddenly pass away”, she said, but “he’s still determined.” The group’s lawyers are calling for a meeting with David Lammy, the deputy prime minister and justice secretary, hoping to discuss the prisoners’ welfare. Despite criticism from doctors, United Nations experts, some politicians and leading barristers, the government has refused, saying hunger strikes are not unusual in prisons and policies regarding food refusal are being followed. “We wouldn’t be in this position had the government chosen to engage in a meaningful conversation with … [Ahmed’s] legal representatives or even just a mediator,” Alam said.
Doctor warns of death, irreversible health damage
Chiaramello has refused food every other day for several weeks because he has type 1 diabetes. He has been “almost perpetually quite ill”, said his partner, Nneoma Joe-Ejim, a trainee solicitor, who visited him on Wednesday. She fears he is at a higher risk of a diabetic coma. On the days he fasts, he suffers from disorientation, dizziness and sluggishness, she said, adding that she is worried about his new feelings of depression. “He does seem depleted a lot of the time,” she said. James Smith, an emergency physician who is among a group of doctors advising the hunger strikers, warned of a critical phase in which death and irreversible health damage are increasingly likely. He also criticised the manner and level of medical care within the prison system. Teuta Hoxha, who ended her hunger strike after 58 days, is understood to be in hospital while Amu Gib, who paused their protest after 50 days, remains “physically weak”, Gib’s friend Nida Jafri said. “Amu has no [doctor’s] advice on refeeding right now,” she told Al Jazeera. “They’re left to using their own judgement to figure out how much and of what food they should eat. We, as loved ones, are terrified of this. We are aware that the reintroduction of food can be deadly if done incorrectly.” Muraisi is “wasting away”, Smith said, adding that her muscle spasms as well as Ahmed’s hearing loss could signal neurological issues. Chiaramello’s diabetic state is likely worsening and could cause long-term damage, he said. “The trajectory that they are on at the moment can only end in one way, which is progressive decline and eventually death,” he told Al Jazeera. “The organs can hold out for quite some time, particularly in young healthy individuals, and then they can collapse very quickly.” Hundreds of doctors have called on the UK government to increase the frequency of medical observations of the hunger strikers.
Several of the activists are said to have been handcuffed and restrained while in hospital, leading to claims of degrading and dehumanising procedures that overreach stated prison policies. “It really is the most undignified treatment that I have ever come across in an NHS [National Health Service] environment in my career as a doctor,” Smith said. Alam concurred, saying Ahmed fears hospital admissions because he finds the experience “mentally difficult”. “He’s cuffed constantly” while in hospital, which has led to bruised wrists, and is surrounded by a larger number of prison guards, she said. On Wednesday, supporters of the protesters drew parallels with history-shaping hunger strikes. The current action is said to be the largest coordinated hunger strike in British history since 1981 when Irish Republican inmates were led by Bobby Sands. Sands and nine others died of starvation. Muraisi’s 66th day of refusing food was “significant because it was on the 66th day of hunger strike that Bobby Sands died at the hands of the state”, the Prisoners for Palestine group said. Francesca Nadin, the group’s spokesperson, told Al Jazeera that she accuses the government of “complete contempt for the safety and for the lives of these innocent young people because they are innocent until proven guilty. “The government seems to forget about that.”} Video - Source: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/1/8/palestine-action-hunger-strikers-near-death-intent-on-continuing-protests

“Anti-Palestinian Racism”: Adelaide Festival Drops Prominent Palestinian-Australian Author Over Bondi Attack, Despite No Connection; Speakers Withdraw in Protest
Adelaide (QNN)- The Adelaide Festival has dropped prominent Palestinian-Australian academic Randa Abdel-Fattah from its lineup over the Bondi attack, despite her having no link to the incident, a decision she condemned as “anti-Palestinian racism and censorship” and which triggered withdrawals by fellow writers and sponsors. The festival covers arts, music, talks and theatre and includes Adelaide’s annual Writers’ Week next month, where Abdel-Fattah was due to appear for the second time after hosting a number of panels and sessions in 2023. In a Thursday statement, the festival’s board said it had been “shocked and saddened by the tragic events at Bondi” and the “significant heightening of both community tensions and the community debate”. “As the Board responsible for the Adelaide Festival organisation and all Adelaide Writers’ Week events, staff, volunteers and participants, we have today advised scheduled writer Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah that the Board has formed the judgment that we do not wish to proceed with her scheduled appearance at next month’s Writers’ Week,” it added.
Within hours of the board’s announcement, Abdel-Fattah issued her own statement, slamming the festival board’s “blatant and shameless anti-Palestinian racism and censorship.” She said the board’s attempt to associate her with the Bondi massacre was “despicable”. “The Adelaide Writers Festival Board has stripped me of my humanity and agency, reducing me to an object onto which others can project their racist fears and smears,” she added. “The Board’s reasoning suggests that my mere presence is ‘culturally insensitive’; that I, a Palestinian who had nothing to do with the Bondi atrocity, am somehow a trigger for those in mourning and that I should therefore be persona non grata in cultural circles because my very presence as a Palestinian is threatening and ‘unsafe’.”
Abdel-Fattah also took aim at Australian arts and cultural institutions in general, accusing them of displaying “utter contempt and inhumanity towards Palestinians” since 7 October 2023, when Israel launched its genocidal war on Gaza. “The only Palestinians they will tolerate are silent and invisible ones,” she said. The board said while it did not suggest “in any way” that Abdel-Fattah or her writings had any connection with the tragedy at Bondi, it claimed that the decision was made “given her past statements”. “We have formed the view that it would not be culturally sensitive to continue to program her at this unprecedented time so soon after Bondi,” it said. “We understand these Board decisions will likely be disappointing to many in our community. We also recognise our request to Dr Abdel-Fattah will be labelled and will cause discomfort and pressure to other participants. These decisions have not been taken lightly.” “Our only request is that our community is respectful to our staff and volunteers who have not formed part of our decision-making process and deserve nothing but ongoing support for their excellent work.” Abdel-Fattah said she was confident that the writing community and public would respond with “principle and integrity, as they did when I was singled out in the same racist way during the Bendigo Writers Festival”. “In the end, the Adelaide Writers Festival will be left with panellists who demonise a Palestinian out of one side of their mouths while waxing lyrical about freedom of speech from the other.” By Thursday afternoon, statements of withdrawal from fellow writers and sponsors started appearing. The Australia Institute announced the withdrawal of its sponsorship for the 2026 event, which in the past had “promoted bravery, freedom of expression and the exchange of ideas”, it said in a statement. “Censoring or cancelling authors is not in the spirit of an open and free exchange of ideas.” A former director of Adelaide Writers’ Week, Jo Dyer, posted on Bluesky that she was “appalled” at the Adelaide festival board’s decision – “a shocking decision that will and should have far-reaching consequences”. The Stella prize-winning poet Evelyn Araluen was one of the first writers to publicly withdraw. The Dropbear and The Rot author said the board’s decision was a “devastating betrayal’ of the democratic ethos that has defined the festival. “I am so disappointed to witness yet another absurd and irrational capitulation to the demands of a genocidal foreign state from the Australian arts sector,” she posted on Instagram. “Erasing Palestinians from public life in Australia won’t prevent anti semitism. Removing Palestinians from writers festivals won’t prevent anti semitism. I refuse to participate in this spectacle of censorship.” The First Nations academic and writer Chelsea Watego posted an Adelaide Writers’ Week list of 2026 confirmed writers on Instagram with her name crossed out. Abdel-Fattah had faced sustained criticism for her pro-apalestine, anti-genocide comments. The Adelaide-based publisher Pink Shorts Press said it “strongly condemns” the removal of Abdel-Fattah from programming and was now considering whether it would continue its collaboration with the festival. Last year, Abdel-Fattah was among about 30 participants who pulled out of the Bendigo writers’ festival after it issued a last-minute code of conduct that one said requires “complete self-censorship” over Israel’s war in Gaza.} Video - Source: https://qudsnen.co/post?id=67020&slug=anti-palestinian-racism-adelaide-festival-drops-prominent-palestinian-australian-author-over-bondi-attack-despite-no-connection-speakers-withdraw-in-protest

Gaza (QNN)- A Palestinian child was killed on Thursday morning after Israeli forces shot her in northern Gaza, in yet another violation of the fragile ceasefire. Israel has continued to breach the agreement, killing hundreds of civilians and blocking much-needed aid from entering the enclave. Local sources confirmed that 11-year-old Hamsa Housou was shot and killed by Israeli fire in western Jabalia, northern Gaza, despite posing no clear threat. Meanwhile, the sources added that Israel continues to attack the Strip using airstrikes, artillery, and direct gunfire. Loud explosions were reportedly heard in northern Gaza late last night.
Since the declaration of a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip on October 10, 2025, Israel has violated the agreement with near-daily attacks. It violated the ceasefire agreement at least 969 times from October 10 to December 28, the Gaza Government Media Office said The office said Israel shot at civilians 298 times, raided residential areas beyond the “yellow line” 54 times, bombed and shelled Gaza 455 times, and demolished people’s properties on 162 occasions. It added that Israel had also detained 45 Palestinians from Gaza over the past months. Israel has also continued to block much-needed humanitarian aid from entering the war-torn enclave.} Video - Source: https://qudsnen.co/post?id=67019&slug=israeli-forces-kill-palestinian-child-in-gaza-in-another-ceasefire-violation

{Two Citizens Killed in Israeli Airstrike on Home in Eastern Gaza
Israeli forces killed two Palestinians in a strike on a home in eastern Gaza, claiming the attack responded to an alleged Hamas assault without providing evidence.
Gaza (QNN)- Two Palestinians were killed on Wednesday evening in an Israeli airstrike on a home in eastern Gaza City in a new Israeli violation of Trump's ceasefire agreement. Others were injured in the assault, which hit al-Tuffah neighborhood. Medical sources said the victims were two young men. The strike targeted a house belonging to Alwan family on Yafa Street in al-Tuffah, east of Gaza City. The Israeli army claimed the attack followed a ceasefire violation in northern Gaza. It did not provide evidence. In a statement, the army alleged that Hamas fighters opened fire toward Israeli forces stationed in the area. The army also claimed it targeted a Hamas commander who was planning attacks against Israeli forces in northern Gaza. The attack comes amid continued Israeli violations of the ceasefire. The agreement entered into force on October 10 last year. Since then, Israel murdered at least 424 Palestinians. Another 1,199 people have been injured, according to The Ministry of Health. On October 8, 2023, Israel launched a genocide  in Gaza that lasted two years. The genocide killed more than 71,000 Palestinians. It wounded at least 171,000 others. The genocide caused massive destruction across the Strip. About 90 percent of Gaza’s civilian infrastructure suffered damage or destruction. The United Nations estimates reconstruction costs at around $70 billion. Israeli strikes have continued despite the ceasefire, raising concerns over its collapse and the ongoing civilian toll in Gaza.} Video - Source: https://qudsnen.co/post?id=67018&slug=two-citizens-killed-in-israeli-airstrike-on-home-in-eastern-gaza
