Videoscreen grab: A Mothers' deepest Grief
Al Jazeera - Jan 11, 2026 Mohammad Mansour
{Fourth Palestinian baby freezes to death in Gaza since November
Four babies have died from the cold since November, as power cuts disable incubators and families in flooded tents struggle to keep their children alive. In the bitter cold of a Gaza winter, two-month-old Mohammed Abu Harbid has become the latest victim of Israel’s genocidal war that has stripped Palestinians of shelter, warmth and survival. Zaher al-Wahidi, director of health information at the Ministry of Health, told Al Jazeera the infant died from severe hypothermia at al-Rantisi Children’s Hospital. His death brings the number of children who have frozen to death in the enclave since November 2025 to four, and 12 since the start of the genocidal war in October 2023. As severe depression brings torrential rain and freezing winds to the coastal enclave, thousands of displaced families are facing a catastrophic humanitarian emergency, with the most vulnerable paying the highest price.
Incubators without batteries
At al-Awda Hospital in the Nuseirat refugee camp, a newly opened neonatal ward is fighting a losing battle to keep premature babies alive. The ward, established in early 2026 to meet soaring demand, receives about 17 infants daily. But Ahmed Abu Shaira, a medical staff member, says they are operating with one hand tied behind their back. “We face many dilemmas, including a scarcity of medical equipment,” Abu Shaira told Al Jazeera Mubasher correspondent Talal al-Arouqi. “Some incubators come to us without batteries … the occupation forces the entry of incubators without batteries.” This is a death sentence in a facility plagued by chronic power outages. During Al Jazeera’s visit, the electricity cut out more than five times in less than an hour. “We try to reach a certain temperature for the child, but every time we do, the power cuts,” Abu Shaira explained. Without the internal batteries that Israeli restrictions have banned, the incubators go cold the instant the generator fails. Compounding the crisis is a lack of medication to help premature lungs develop and a severe shortage of baby formula. “We are now receiving babies born before 37 weeks … due to early labour caused by the mothers’ poor health,” Abu Shaira added. “These babies are prone to hypothermia … which can lead to death.”
Standing like pillars
Outside the hospitals, the situation is equally dire. In western Gaza City, the Kafarna family’s struggle for survival is measured in sleepless nights spent holding up their tent against the wind. “When we hear the word ‘depression’, we start shaking … it’s like the horrors of doomsday,” the father told Al Jazeera Mubasher’s Ayman al-Hissi, standing inside a tent with balding fabric that offers little protection from the elements. “Our bedding is soaked … My daughters are sick from the cold,” he said. “Illness is spreading among the children.” The storm on Saturday night nearly destroyed their fragile shelter. “I stood all night holding this pole, and my wife and daughters leaned against the wooden beams to brace against the wind,” the father recounted. “We took turns holding the tent … water was coming in from above and below.”

‘Just a piece of cloth’
The mother, exhausted and surrounded by sick children, described their shelter as a “piece of cloth” that hides them from view but protects them from nothing.
“I can’t even get medicine for my sick daughter … every time the wind blows, the tent snaps,” she said. Their daughter, Waad, huddled in a tracksuit donated by a charity, has only one wish: a better tent. “I wish they would bring us a ‘dome tent’ to protect us from the cold and rain,” Waad told Al Jazeera. “We [nearly] drowned last night … I wish I could go back to school.” Her mother recalled a terrifying moment when Waad fell ill at night. “She was vomiting from her mouth and nose, and I couldn’t even find a light to see her … I didn’t know how to help her.” As the winter conditions worsen, the family’s plea is simple yet desperate: “We appeal to anyone with a conscience … send us caravans, send us tents … anything to cover us from the cold.”} Video - Source: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/1/11/fourth-palestinian-baby-freezes-to-death-in-gaza-since-november


Torture in rakevet prison
Quds news - Jan 11, 2026
{Palestinian Detainee Dies in Israeli Jail Amid Reports of Severe Torture
A Palestinian detainee has died in an Israeli jail, as rights groups report severe torture, deliberate starvation, and medical neglect inside Israel’s prison system amid a sharp rise in prisoner deaths since the Gaza genocide began.
Occupied Palestine (QNN)- A joint statement by the Palestinian Commission of Detainees’ and Ex-Detainees’ Affairs and the Palestinian Prisoner’s Club confirmed the death of Palestinian prisoner Hamza Abdullah Adwan, 67, from the Gaza Strip, in Israeli prisons. Adwan died on September 9, 2025, while held in Israeli custody. Israeli forces kidnapped him from Gaza on November 12, 2024. He was married and the father of nine children. Two of his sons were killed before the genocide in Gaza began on October 7, 2023. The Palestinian Prisoner’s Club said the total number of Palestinian detainees and abductees who have died in Israeli prisons since 1967 has reached 323. More than 100 of them have died since Israel launched its genocide in Gaza. In a statement issued on Wednesday, the group said the figure includes only cases that Palestinian human rights, medical, and legal institutions managed to document over decades. It warned that Israel follows a policy of concealment and blackout that obstructs full accountability. The Prisoner’s Club said the period following the Gaza genocide marks the most dangerous and deadly phase in the history of the Palestinian detainees’ movement. It linked this shift to both the rising number of deaths and the nature of crimes committed inside Israeli prisons and detention centers. The group announced the identities of 86 detainees deaths since October 8, including 50 abductees from Gaza. It said the figures point to an escalation in systematic killing policies, especially against Gaza detainees who face harsh and inhumane detention conditions. It added that the announced numbers do not represent the final toll, as documentation efforts continue. At the same time, detainees face what the statement described as a full system of punitive policies, including physical and psychological torture, deliberate starvation, medical neglect, medical crimes, organized repression, and denial of basic rights. The Prisoner’s Club also said Israeli authorities continue to withhold the bodies of 94 deceased Palestinian detainees. Eighty-three of them died after the Gaza genocide began, a practice the group described as a grave violation of international humanitarian law. The statement said crossing the threshold of 100 detainee deaths in a relatively short period sets a dangerous historical precedent. It added that the scale of violence reflects an unprecedented level of brutality and turns Israeli prisons into arenas of ongoing extermination. The Prisoner’s Club urged the international community and legal and human rights bodies to act immediately. It called for protection for Palestinian detainees and hostages, accountability for Israeli leaders, and an end to entrenched impunity. According to Palestinian rights groups, Israel currently holds more than 9,300 Palestinian detainees and abductees, including children and women. Many suffer torture, starvation, and medical neglect, which has led to multiple deaths.
Palestinian human rights organizations, including the Prisoner’s Club, Addameer, and the Commission of Detainees’ Affairs, documented around 7,000 abductions over the past year. Those cases included 600 children and 200 women. Since October 8, 2023, the number of abductions has reached about 21,000, including 1,655 children and 650 women, not counting detainees from Gaza and Palestinians held inside Israel.} Source: https://qudsnen.co/post?id=67041&slug=palestinian-detainee-dies-in-israeli-jail-amid-reports-of-severe-torture


Videoscreen grab: Heba Muraisi, Kamran Ahmed and Lewie Chiaramello
Al Jazeera - Jan 11, 2026 Marium Ali
{Hunger strike for 70 days: How the body breaks down without food
Medical estimates put survival without food at 45 to 61 days. Three Palestine Action activists in the UK are now pushing beyond that boundary. Three British activists from the proscribed Palestine Action group are on hunger strike seeking bail and a fair trial, with friends and relatives warning they are close to death but determined to continue until their demands are met. Heba Muraisi and Kamran Ahmed have refused food for 70 and 63 days respectively as part of a rolling hunger strike that began in November. A third prisoner, Lewie Chiaramello, is also refusing food on alternating days due to type 1 diabetes. Five of the eight people who took part in the protest have ended their hunger strikes due to health concerns. They are held in different jails over their alleged involvement in break-ins at the United Kingdom subsidiary of Israeli defence firm Elbit Systems in Bristol, where equipment was damaged, and at a Royal Air Force base in Oxfordshire, where two military aircraft were sprayed with red paint.
They deny all charges.
The group is demanding:
Bail and the right to a fair trial, and the reversal of the UK government’s July designation of Palestine Action as a “terrorist organisation”, placing it alongside ISIL (ISIS) and al-Qaeda.
Closure in the UK of all Elbit sites, which are facilities operated by Israel’s largest defence company, manufacturing military technology used by the Israeli armed forces and other governments.
An end to what they describe as censorship inside prison, including the withholding of mail, phone calls and books.
All eight will have spent more than a year in custody without trials, exceeding the UK’s usual six-month pre-trial detention limit.
What does prolonged hunger do to the body?
In the early stages of starvation, after several days without food, the body begins breaking down muscle to produce energy. As the fast continues, metabolism slows down. The body loses its ability to regulate temperature, kidney function deteriorates, and the immune system weakens, reducing the body’s ability to heal from injury. Once the body’s reserves are depleted, it can no longer prioritise nutrients for vital organs. The heart and lungs become less efficient, muscles shrink and profound weakness sets in. Eventually, as protein stores are depleted, and the body begins to break down its own tissues. At this stage, death may be imminent. Scientific research on prolonged starvation is limited due to ethical reasons; however, estimates suggest that a healthy, well-nourished adult could survive without food for between 45 and 61 days, which means the three activists have now reached, or exceeded, that threshold, placing them in extreme, life-threatening danger.
International concern
Hunger strikes have long been used as an extreme, non-violent form of protest, relying on moral pressure to compel those in power to act. Historical records trace the practice to ancient India and Ireland, where people would fast at the doorstep of someone who had wronged them as a form of public shaming. In modern times, hunger strikes remain powerful political statements, often drawing international attention to cases of imprisonment, injustice or repression, even at the cost of the striker’s life. Hundreds of Palestinian prisoners incarcerated without any charges by Israel have resorted to hunger strikes to bring attention to their cases. United Nations experts said hunger strikes are “often a measure of last resort by people who believe their rights to protest and effective remedy have been exhausted”. They added that the state’s duty of care towards hunger strikers is heightened, not diminished, and that authorities must ensure timely access to emergency and hospital care, refrain from pressure or retaliation, and respect medical ethics. Kerry Moscogiuri, director of campaigns and communications at Amnesty International UK, called the situation alarming. She said it was “shocking that these activists have been forced to resort to such desperate measures to bring attention to their plight”, adding that the crisis reflects a “gross misuse of counterterrorism powers”.} Video - Source: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/1/11/hunger-strike-for-70-days-how-the-body-breaks-down-without-food


planned invasion of Gaza city
Quds news - Jan 11, 2026
{Israel Planning to Invade and Occupy Gaza City in March: Reports
The Gaza City assault planned for March would see Israel expanding its control of Gaza, the Israeli official and Arab diplomat said.
Gaza (QNN)- The Israeli military is reportedly planning to launch a renewed assault on Gaza in March. The offensive would focus on Gaza City, with the aim of pushing the so-called “Yellow Line” westward toward the coast, forcibly displacing Palestinians and occupying the City. The Times of Israel, citing an Israeli official and an Arab diplomat on Saturday, said the plan will not be able to go forward without the support of the US, which is still trying to advance the fragile ceasefire reached in October to a second phase. The report said ICC-wanted Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu does not believe that they will be successful in moving to the second phase and has accordingly directed the military to prepare for the plan. On October 10, the Israeli forces completed the first phase of withdrawal under the ceasefire deal to the “yellow line,” a non-physical demarcation line separating the Israeli occupation forces from certain areas of Gaza, while maintaining control of roughly 53 percent of the Strip. The Gaza City assault planned for March would see Israel increase that percentage, the Israeli official and Arab diplomat said. Some details of this planned offensive were first reported by The Wall Street Journal. Erez Winner, a research fellow at the Israel Centre for Grand Strategy, told The Journal that an offensive against Gaza would now be easier for Israel because Israel no longer has to worry about putting captives at risk, as it claimed, now that all the living captives and all but one captive’s body have been returned by Hamas. He added that it would also be easier for Israel to forcibly displace Palestinians because most of them are sheltering in makeshift tents, with one possibility being to bring them to the Israeli-controlled part of the enclave. Possible strategies mentioned by The Journal include an Israeli takeover of Gaza City or a slower, piece-by-piece takeover of the entire enclave. According to reports, Israeli forces have been squeezing Palestinians into ever smaller clusters of the enclave, with residents of some areas of Gaza City saying the military is expanding their control beyond the line denoted by yellow blocks. Over the past days, the Israeli military has been expanding the “yellow line” in eastern Gaza, particularly in eastern Gaza City’s Tuffah, Shujayea, and Zeitoun neighbourhoods, according to reports. Israel has violated the ceasefire more than 1000 times since it took effect, killing hundreds of civilians and blocking much-needed aid from entering the enclave.} Video - Source: https://qudsnen.co/post?id=67040&slug=israel-planning-to-invade-and-occupy-gaza-city-in-march-reports

{Israel kills Palestinian in Hebron, raids Nablus, East Jerusalem wedding
Killing comes amid record Israeli violence and settlement expansion across the occupied West Bank. A Palestinian man has died from gunshot wounds after Israeli forces opened fire on his vehicle in Hebron, amid escalating violence against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank as Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza shows no signs of abating. Shaker Falah al-Jaabari, 58, succumbed to his injuries on Sunday morning after being shot the previous night in eastern Hebron, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health. The Israeli army said forces opened fire at a vehicle that accelerated towards soldiers in the Haret al-Sheikh neighbourhood; however, in a later statement, the military acknowledged that an initial review found no evidence that the incident was an intentional attack. Israeli authorities seized his body following the shooting, the Palestinian Wafa news agency reported. The Palestine Red Crescent Society told Al Jazeera that its crew was prevented from reaching the man. The killing came as Israeli forces besieged a house in the Old City of Nablus on Sunday, with undercover units infiltrating neighbourhoods before military vehicles stormed the city from multiple directions. Two Palestinians were arrested as troops deployed across several areas and live gunfire echoed through the eastern market, according to Palestinian security sources cited by Wafa. In a separate incident, Israeli forces raided a Palestinian wedding in occupied East Jerusalem, firing live ammunition and stun grenades at attendees. Several men were arrested, including the groom, with footage showing soldiers inside the hall and security forces throwing stun grenades as guests were forced outside. The escalation follows stark findings from the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), which documented that 240 Palestinians were killed in the occupied West Bank in 2025, including 55 children. The year also saw more than 1,800 settler attacks, the highest since the United Nations began recording such incidents in 2006, with five attacks occurring each day on average. More than 1,190 Palestinians were injured in these attacks, with 838 wounded directly by Israeli settlers, an average of two Palestinians injured daily by settlers alone. The violence coincides with a landmark UN human rights report released on Wednesday, labelling Israeli policies as resembling “apartheid”, the first time a UN rights chief has used the term. Volker Turk called for Israel to “dismantle all settlements”, describing a “systematic asphyxiation of the rights of Palestinians in the West Bank”. Hours after the report’s publication, Israel cleared the final hurdle to begin constructing the controversial E1 settlement project near Jerusalem. A government tender published on Tuesday seeks developers for 3,401 housing units on land that critics say would effectively bisect the West Bank and prevent the establishment of a contiguous Palestinian state. Initial construction could begin within weeks, according to the anti-settlement group Peace Now. Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, who oversees settlement policy, declared in August that “the Palestinian state is being erased from the table not with slogans but with actions,” adding that “every settlement, every neighbourhood, every housing unit is another nail in the coffin of this dangerous idea”.
Settlement expansion drives mass displacement
Al Jazeera correspondent Nida Ibrahim, reporting from a Bedouin camp in Ras al-Auja being dismantled under Israeli orders, described it as “one of the largest shepherding communities in the West Bank”. She noted that 26 families had already left, with 20 more preparing to depart. “The other location is completely unknown; they still don’t know where they’re going to go,” Ibrahim said, adding that Israeli settlers were “coming in and intimidating people” as filming took place. More than half a million Israeli settlers now live in West Bank settlements, which are considered illegal under international law. Since October 7, 2023, Israeli attacks have killed more than 1,100 Palestinians in the West Bank and arrested some 21,000 during the period.} Video - Source: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/1/11/israel-kills-palestinian-in-hebron-raids-nablus-east-jerusalem-wedding


Free Palestine
Al Jazeera - Jan 11, 2026 Yousef M Aljamal
{Israel’s ban on NGOs operating in Gaza will be devastating
But it will not extinguish its people’s drive to survive, rebuild and prosper.
I work for the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC), a Quaker organisation that has been present in Gaza for more than 77 years. AFSC began its work in 1948 when the United Nations asked it to organise relief efforts for Palestinian refugees who had been expelled from their land by Zionist forces. For two years, AFSC’s Gaza staff helped set up and run 10 refugee camps in al-Faluja, Bureij, Deir el-Balah, Gaza City, Jabalia, Maghazi, Nuseirat, Khan Younis and Rafah. They worked to provide food, shelter and sanitation as well as setting up educational programmes for children. In the decades that followed, AFSC’s programmes have provided support for agricultural development, kindergartens, midwife training, humanitarian aid and trauma healing. Since the start of Israel’s genocide in 2023, AFSC staff members in Gaza have provided more than a million meals, food parcels, fresh vegetables, hygiene kits and other essential supplies. Now, for the first time since 1948, AFSC along with dozens of other international organisations is threatened with a ban from the Israeli government that puts lifesaving humanitarian work in jeopardy. This would have a devastating effect on the people of Gaza. And it cannot come at a worse time.
A continuing genocide
The mass killing in Gaza has not stopped. Despite a ceasefire, Israeli forces are carrying out ongoing raids, air strikes and large-scale demolitions across Gaza. Since the ceasefire began on October 10, these attacks have killed more than 420 Palestinians and injured more than 1,150. And it is not just the bombs. Floods in Gaza have destroyed tens of thousands of tents while badly damaged homes continue to collapse on residents. The absence of medicines and proper healthcare is killing people as well; about 600 kidney disease patients have died as a result of lack of treatment. Meanwhile, Israel continues to prevent temporary shelters, medicines and other desperately needed supplies from entering. These actions have reinforced a longstanding Israeli policy aimed at depopulating Gaza and annexing the land. Israel’s prohibitively restrictive new registration policies and efforts to prohibit or limit international aid are part of this effort. Silencing independent humanitarian voices and dismantling humanitarian infrastructure serve to create conditions on the ground that make life in Gaza impossible. Gaza cannot recover or thrive without comprehensive reconstruction that restores its health system, education sector and critical infrastructure.
Just two weeks before the ceasefire began, an Israeli air strike struck my family home, killing nine of my immediate relatives, including two of my siblings, their spouses and their children. When I spoke to surviving family members shortly afterwards, they told me the “responsibility is light now” – a phrase they used to express that the number of people to care for is less now. Since that phone call, I have not stopped thinking about what responsibility truly means. For me, it did not become lighter. It grew heavier. Nine children were left orphaned. With each life taken from my family, the weight of responsibility only increased – the responsibility to remember, to care for those left behind and to bear witness to what has been done. But this responsibility is not mine alone. It belongs to every nation, institution and individual who has sat idly by while Gaza burns – and especially those nations who have sent the bombs that continue to kill and destroy.
From 1948 to 2026
I first learned about the history of AFSC from my friend Ahmad Alhaaj, who benefitted from its work when he was a young refugee in 1948. Ahmad passed away in Gaza City in January 2024. It is heartbreaking that he lived his entire life as a refugee, recounting stories of Israel’s 1948 massacres, only to spend his final days enduring a genocide. He died under siege and bombardment, ultimately losing his life because essential medicines were unavailable. The story of Ahmad in Gaza in 2024 is tragically similar to his story in 1948. Then, he was 16 years old, a barefoot refugee following evacuation orders to Gaza from his village of al-Sawafir. What changed were the years; what did not was the condition of dispossession, displacement and abandonment. But Ahmad’s story is not just about displacement. Ahmad’s story is a story of love – love for his village. He lived his entire life in Gaza as a refugee in a rented house, refusing to own a home so he would never forget his village or the house his parents were forced to leave behind. For Ahmad, ownership elsewhere risked erasing memory; remaining a renter was an act of fidelity. This same love has been embodied by many Palestinians who chose Gaza, even under fire. It is a devotion to place that defies siege, displacement and death. Ahmad’s love reminds me of the dedication of my mentor and friend Refaat Alareer, who became Gaza’s great storyteller, giving voice to its people and its pain. On December 6, 2023, Israel killed Refaat along with his brother, sister and nephews in a targeted strike on his apartment. Like Ahmad, Refaat paid for this love – this unbreakable connection to land and memory – with his life. His poem If I Must Die has become a testament to this love and to an enduring hope – a message that has travelled beyond Gaza and transformed into a global story. Born of siege and resistance, the poem carries Gaza’s humanity to the world, insisting on life, memory and dignity even in the face of death.
Gaza rising
In 1948, the Greater Gaza District was home to 34 villages. One of them was Ahmad’s. For our grandparents, Gaza was understood as something far larger than the narrow strip it later became. Their sense of place was expansive, rooted in villages, fields and continuous geography. Our parents, however, witnessed Gaza steadily shrink. What had once been one of the largest districts in historic Palestine was reduced in 1948 to roughly 555sq km (215sq miles). It later shrank further, to about 365sq km (140sq miles) after Israel established a so-called demilitarised zone – land that was eventually annexed at the direct expense of Gaza’s people. Today, Israel occupies more than half of Gaza. It has imposed what is known as the “yellow line”, which functions as a new de facto border that continues to expand, annexing new territory. Palestinians who cross it are executed. Even Fadi and Jumaa, ages 8 and 10, were not spared. Gaza is not just besieged; it is being physically erased, metre by metre, generation by generation. The Gaza we love goes beyond lines and borders. Although the majority of Palestinians in Gaza are refugees from towns that today lie inside Israel, Gaza is the place we call home. Today, Gaza has liberated the imaginations and consciences of people across the world. It transcends geography and the artificial lines drawn on maps – yellow or green. Israel can ban international organisations and journalists, arrest our medical workers and bomb our poets. It can destroy lives and homes and cause suffering beyond measure. But it cannot ban our struggle for justice or our innate human desire to help one another survive. Despite the many obstacles and challenges we face, our work to support people in Gaza and across the occupied Palestinian territory will continue. Gaza means liberty, sacrifice and love, even amid tents and rubble. And it will rise again from the ruins, as it has done throughout history.

Masked Israeli Settlers Assault Deaf Elderly Palestinian
Quds news - Jan 11, 2026
{Video: Masked Israeli Settlers Assault Deaf Elderly Palestinian Man in Occupied West Bank
The video shows Yassin attempting to run away from the Israeli settlers before falling to the floor.
Occupied West Bank (QNN)- A video circulating on social media shows dozens of masked Israeli settlers armed with sticks beating an elderly deaf Palestinian man in the occupied West Bank, despite him posing no threat, amid a surge in settler violence against Palestinians. The footage showed the settlers, who are dressed mostly in black, hitting and kicking the man after he fell to the ground during an attack on Thursday on a plant nursery in the village of Deir Sharaf.
Workers at the nursery fled after seeing the settlers approaching, but 67-year-old Basim Saleh Yassin is deaf and couldn't hear the warnings to leave, two people who witnessed the attack and are members of the family that owns the facility told the news agency. The video shows Yassin attempting to run away from the group before falling to the floor. One settler kicks him as he kneels on the ground, while another repeatedly beats him with a stick. Yassin then places his hands on the ground, on all fours. As the settlers leave, two run past and kick him before another kicks him in the head. Two then approach and beat him with sticks until he falls back to the ground. The witnesses said Yassin was in hospital with broken bones in his hand and other injuries to his face, chest and back. They said four cars were burned and destroyed at the nursery. In a new report last week, the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights said Israel’s “oppression and domination” of Palestinians resembles “apartheid” and the 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. The 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. A new report by Haaretz shows that Israeli minors are playing a growing role in attacks on Palestinians across the occupied West Bank. The attacks form part of a broader pattern of forced displacement that has uprooted dozens of native Palestinians in recent years.} Video - Source: https://qudsnen.co/post?id=67038&slug=video-masked-israeli-settlers-assault-deaf-elderly-palestinian-man-in-occupied-west-bank

Defence minister says Somalia has ‘confirmed information’ that Israel plans to forcibly move Palestinians to Somaliland. Somalia’s Defence Minister Ahmed Moalim Fiqi has accused Israel of planning to forcibly displace Palestinians to the breakaway region of Somaliland, denouncing the alleged plan as a “serious violation” of international law. In an interview with Al Jazeera on Saturday, Fiqi said Somalia has “confirmed information that Israel has a plan to transfer Palestinians and to send them to [Somaliland]”. His comments came against the backdrop of longstanding fears raised by Somali officials that Israel intended to forcibly expel Palestinians from Gaza to Somaliland, reports that the self-governing region and Israel have denied. Somaliland declared independence from Somalia in 1991 but has never gained United Nations recognition. Israel’s December decision made it the first country to recognise Somaliland as independent.
Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar told Israel’s Channel 14 last week that the forcible displacement of Palestinians to Somaliland “was not part of our agreement”. “I think we have a lot of topics in the field of politics, security, development, and others that we will advance with Somaliland … And I can say this is not part of our agreement,” Saar said. He did not provide further details on what had been agreed, and neither Israeli nor Somaliland officials have disclosed specifics since the recognition announcement. A Somaliland source close to the government, speaking on condition of anonymity, also said the relocation of Palestinians was not a concession made by Somaliland officials, but did not give any more details. Somalia’s President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud previously told Al Jazeera that Somaliland had accepted Israel’s three conditions – the resettlement of Palestinians, establishment of a military base on the coast of the Gulf of Aden and joining the Abraham Accords to normalise ties with Israel. Fiqi called on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to withdraw his diplomatic recognition of the “separatist region”, describing the move, announced late last year, as a “direct attack” on Somalia’s sovereignty. Expanding on his criticism, Fiqi accused Israel of pursuing a strategy of fragmenting regional states, arguing that its recognition of Somaliland fit a larger pattern. “Israel has long had goals and plans to divide countries — maybe for 20 years — and it wants to divide the map of the Middle East and control its countries. This is why they found this separatist group in northwestern Somalia,” Fiqi told Al Jazeera.
Israel’s military base in Gulf of Aden
The Somali minister also accused Israel of seeking to establish a military base on the Bab al-Mandeb Strait, which connects the Gulf of Aden to the Red Sea, saying Israel “wants to create a military base to destabilise the region”. A Somaliland official said those discussions were taking place, contradicting an earlier denial from its Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation. Deqa Qasim, an official in the ministry, told Israel’s Channel 12 that an Israeli military base is “on the table and being discussed”, though its establishment depends on the terms. Houthi leaders have said they would consider any Israeli presence in Somaliland, just across from the Gulf of Aden, a threat and a possible military target. Somaliland President Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi, known locally as Cirro, sought to assuage fears among neighbouring countries, saying Israel’s recognition of Somaliland was not directed against anyone, during a speech welcoming the establishment of relations with Israel. When Saar visited Hargeisa, the capital of the breakaway region, last week, a Somaliland readout said security was among the topics discussed during the meeting. The visit drew immediate condemnation from 22 countries and the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) in a joint statement that called Saar’s January 6 trip a “clear violation” of Somalia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. Fiqi’s comments came amid continuing international outcry over Netanyahu’s decision in December to recognise Somaliland, a breakaway part of Somalia comprising the northwestern portion of what was once the British Protectorate. On Saturday, the 57-member OIC held an extraordinary summit in Saudi Arabia on Israel’s recognition of Somaliland, adopting two resolutions: one condemning Israel’s move and another expressing support for Palestine. Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said in an interview with TRT Haber that Turkiye, together with several other Muslim countries, had coordinated efforts to prevent other states from recognising Somaliland, suggesting that additional countries had been considering the move. Amid claims by Somaliland officials that several countries would follow Israel’s lead, and rumours that India would follow, a spokesperson for India’s Ministry of External Affairs pushed back, dampening hopes of any such move. “India has longstanding ties with Somalia. We continue to underline the importance of respecting the country’s sovereignty and territorial integrity,” the spokesperson said.
On Friday, President Mohamud appealed via a national address to Somaliland’s leaders to engage in negotiations with Mogadishu and change course on ties with Israel. He said if the separation of Somalia were the direction they wanted to move in, wider recognition would not be possible without the consent of the Somali government and would leave them in diplomatic limbo.} Video - Source: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/1/11/somali-minister-says-israel-plans-to-displace-palestinians-to-somaliland

Second Infant Freezes to Death

{Second Infant Freezes to Death in Gaza Amid Harsh Winter and Israeli Aid Blockade
Earlier, a seven-day-old baby also died from severe exposure to cold, amid a lack of proper heating and basic shelter in Deir al-Balah in central Gaza.
Gaza (QNN)- A two-month-old infant has died from extreme cold in the Gaza Strip as a harsh winter and Israel’s blockade of much-needed aid, including shelter materials, deepen the humanitarian crisis in the war-torn enclave. Medical sources confirmed on Saturday night that Mohamed Abu Harbid died in Gaza City amid a sharp drop in temperatures as a harsh winter storm hit the enclave on Thursday night, bringing rain and strong winds across Gaza, and another is expected on Tuesday. Earlier, a seven-day-old baby also died from severe exposure to cold, amid a lack of proper heating and basic shelter in Deir al-Balah in central Gaza.
Heavy winter rains and strong winds have brought new challenges to displaced Palestinians in the war-torn Gaza Strip. Videos circulating on social media show tents being blown away, strong winds scattering belongings, displaced people pleading for help, and children shivering from the cold over the past weeks after polar low-pressure systems and storms accompanied by heavy rain and strong winds battered the Strip. In a statement, Gaza’s Civil Defense 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”. It also 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 Defense 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. The meteorological authority in Gaza has warned that strong winds are expected to continue alongside a further drop in temperatures. At least 25 people, including five babies, have died this month from hypothermia following the rains and plunging temperatures and collapsed buildings, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry. More than 127,000 tents housing displaced families have been destroyed or swept away by flooding and powerful winds, affecting over 250,000 people across Gaza, the Gaza Civil Defense said. Israel’s two-year war has destroyed more than 80 percent of the structures across Gaza, forcing hundreds of thousands of families to take refuge in flimsy tents or overcrowded makeshift shelters. Humanitarian groups have immediately urged Israel to allow unimpeded deliveries of aid to Gaza. The United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, said the Israeli occupation government has blocked it from bringing aid directly into Gaza. “People have reportedly died due to the collapse of damaged buildings where families were sheltering. Children have reportedly died from exposure to the cold,” UNRWA said.
“This must stop. Aid must be allowed in at scale, now.” Despite the ceasefire which took effect in October, Israel has continued to kill Palestinians in Gaza and restricted the entry of much-needed aid, violating the agreement. “Entry of distribution and aid in the Gaza Strip will proceed without interference from the two parties through the United Nations and its agencies, and the Red Crescent, in addition to other international institutions not associated in any manner with either party,” Trump’s “20-point peace plan” says. Recently, Israel said it will suspend more than three dozen humanitarian organisations, including Doctors Without Borders, for allegedly failing to meet its new rules for aid groups working in Gaza. Organisations facing bans didn’t meet new requirements for sharing information on their staffs, funding and operations, Israeli occupation authorities said. Other major organisations affected include the Norwegian Refugee Council, CARE International, the International Rescue Committee, and divisions of major charities such as Oxfam and Caritas. International organisations said Israel’s rules are arbitrary. Israel claimed 37 groups working in Gaza didn’t have their permits renewed. Israel changed its registration process for aid groups in March, which included a requirement to submit a list of staff, including Palestinians in Gaza. Some aid groups said they didn’t submit a list of Palestinian staff for fear those employees would be targeted by Israel. “It comes from a legal and safety perspective. In Gaza, we saw hundreds of aid workers get killed,” said Shaina Low, communications adviser for the Norwegian Refugee Council. The Humanitarian Country Team (HCT), which coordinates decisions across UN agencies and NGOs working in Gaza and the occupied West Bank, urged Israel to reconsider its move, warning that they are an essential part of life-saving humanitarian operations in the occupied Palestinian territory. “The deregistration of INGOs in Gaza will have a catastrophic impact on access to essential and basic services,” the HCT said.  “INGOs run or support the majority of field hospitals, primary healthcare centers, emergency shelter responses, water and sanitation services, nutrition stabilization centers for children with acute malnutrition, and critical mine action activities.” The move comes as ten countries, including Canada and Britain, have expressed “serious concerns” over a “renewed deterioration of the humanitarian situation” in Gaza, describing conditions as “catastrophic” despite the ceasefire. Recently, more than 100 aid groups accused Israel of obstructing life-saving aid from entering Gaza and called on it to end its “weaponisation of aid”.} Video - Source: https://qudsnen.co/post?id=67037&slug=second-infant-freezes-to-death-in-gaza-amid-harsh-winter-and-israeli-aid-blockade

{Argentina’s Pro-Israel President Freezes Embassy Move to Occupied Jerusalem After Learning of Israeli Oil Drilling in Disputed Falklands
Argentina’s president, long known for his staunch support of Israel, froze his planned embassy move to occupied Jerusalem at the last minute—after learning an Israeli company is drilling for oil in the disputed Falklands. Buenos Aires (QNN)- Argentina’s president, known for his pro-Israel stance, had pledged to move his country’s embassy from Tel Aviv to occupied Jerusalem. The plan, set for Israel’s so-called Independence Day, has been frozen at the last minute over Israeli oil drilling near the Falkland Islands, a territory Argentina claims but Britain controls, reported Israeli channel 12. Israeli company Navitas is set to drill, aiming to produce only 32,000 barrels of oil per day. The project, valued at $1.8 billion, is expected to begin in the coming weeks under a license issued by the Falklands government. Israel pressed ahead, even though Argentina considers it a red line. The freeze highlights a complex reality: a president eager to please Israel now faces tensions with his country’s own territorial claims. Argentine officials warned that the drilling could damage bilateral ties, which had improved since Javier Milei assumed the presidency. Argentine President Javier Milei has positioned himself as one of Israel’s strongest international supporters, breaking with decades of more balanced foreign policy in Buenos Aires. Since taking office, he has openly praised Israel’s wars and assaults, including the Gaza genocide, and reaffirmed Argentina’s alignment with Israel and the United States in diplomatic arenas. Milei delivered a speech to the Knesset in occupied Jerusalem declaring unwavering support, and has reaffirmed a pledge to move Argentina’s embassy from Tel Aviv to occupied Jerusalem by 2026; a key diplomatic gesture supporting Israel’s occupation of the Palestinian capital city. Milei’s pro‑Israel stance also includes deepening political and economic ties. He used his $1 million Genesis Prize award to launch the “Isaac Accords,” a diplomatic framework intended to normalize relations between the occupation state of Israel and Latin American countries in areas including technology, and education.} Video - Source: https://qudsnen.co/post?id=67036&slug=argentinas-pro-israel-president-freezes-embassy-move-to-occupied-jerusalem-after-learning-of-israeli-oil-drilling-in-disputed-falklands

{Jewish Groups Condemn Synagogue Event Promoting Sale of Stolen Palestinian Land in NYC
Jewish groups and NYC leaders are condemning a synagogue event selling stolen Palestinian land in the West Bank. Zohran Mamdani criticized pro-Palestinian chants, while AOC called them “disgusting and antisemitic.” Critics say outrage over slogans hides the real issue: sacred spaces were used to profit from illegal land theft.
New York City (QNN)- Jewish advocacy groups and religious leaders sharply criticized a New York City synagogue for hosting an event tied to the sale of stolen Palestinian land in the occupied West Bank. The event, held at Agudath Israel of Kew Gardens Hills, sparked protests and fierce debate over the intersection of religion, politics, and colonialism. In a statement, Jewish Voice for Peace said it “strongly objects to the use of synagogues to enable the expulsion of Palestinians from their homes.” The organization called it “a moral failure of epic proportions” that sacred spaces were used to host events supporting the theft of Palestinian land in violation of international law. The anti-zionist group argued that public outrage often misses the bigger issues. “When people protest against sales of stolen Palestinian land, elected officials and far too many Jewish institutions rush to decry the demonstrations. But this outrage obscures the real questions: why is Palestinian land being stolen and sold, and why is it sold inside our synagogues and temples?” the statement said. Jewish Voice for Peace also condemned Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza, and highlighted rising settler attacks across the West Bank. It emphasized that all Palestinians have the right to return to their homes. The Voice of Rabbis and Torah Judaism added that the January 8 PAL-Awda event was not about religion or education, but “centered on a political agenda tied to a West Bank settlement.” The group said the clash between pro-Zionist and anti-Zionist groups had been “deliberately masked by merging Judaism with Zionist politics.” The synagogue event was met by protests in which some demonstrators chanted slogans supporting Palestinian resistance, including “Say it loud, say it clear, we support Hamas here.” New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani condemned the chants, stating that support for what he called "a terrorist organization" has no place in the city. US Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez also weighed in, saying: “Hey, so marching into a predominantly Jewish neighborhood and leading with a chant saying ‘we support Hamas’ is a disgusting and antisemitic thing to do. Pretty basic!” Critics online argued that outrage over the slogans overshadowed the larger issue: the hosting of illegal land sales inside a synagogue. Activists said the event represents a deliberate provocation, linking sacred spaces to the ongoing ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people.} Video - Source: https://qudsnen.co/post?id=67035&slug=jewish-groups-condemn-synagogue-event-promoting-sale-of-stolen-palestinian-land-in-nyc

{‘We just sit and cry’: Gaza’s cancer patients die waiting for treatment
Doctors say cancer-related deaths have tripled since Israel’s war on Gaza began, as Israel blocks patients from leaving and restricts the entry of chemotherapy drugs.
For Hani Naim, the wait is not for a cure, but for permission to save his own life. Living with cancer for six years, Naim had been approved for treatment abroad. But like thousands of others, he remains trapped in Gaza, barred from leaving by tightening Israeli restrictions. “I used to receive treatment in the West Bank and Jerusalem,” Naim told Al Jazeera’s Tareq Abu Azzoum. “Today, I cannot access any treatment at all. I need radiotherapy, and it no longer exists in Gaza.”
Naim is one of 11,000 cancer patients currently stranded in the enclave, where the healthcare system has collapsed entirely. According to doctors, the number of cancer-related deaths has tripled since the October 2023 start of Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza. With no chemotherapy, no radiotherapy, and no way out, a cancer diagnosis has become, for many, an immediate death sentence.
A ‘ghost hospital’
The epicentre of this crisis is the Turkish-Palestinian Friendship Hospital. Once the sole facility providing specialised oncology care in the Gaza Strip, it now stands as a hollowed-out shell. “It resembles a ghost hospital after being turned into a military site during the war,” Abu Azzoum reported. “Israeli forces blew it up, leaving patients to fend for themselves.” With the main facility destroyed, doctors have been forced into makeshift clinics with zero resources. In an interview with Al Jazeera Mubasher, Mohammed Abu Nada, the medical director of the Gaza Cancer Centre, described a situation of total helplessness. “We have lost everything,” Abu Nada said. “We lost the only hospital capable of diagnosing and treating cancer… We are now in Nasser Medical Complex, but unfortunately, we have no equipment to diagnose the disease, and we have no chemotherapy.”
‘Chocolates but no medicine’
Despite recent ceasefire agreements that were supposed to allow aid into the Strip, essential medical supplies remain blocked. Abu Nada dismissed claims that aid is flowing freely, noting that while some commercial goods have entered, life-saving drugs have not. “They brought in chocolates, nuts, and chips … but treatments for chronic diseases, cancer treatments, and diagnostic devices have not entered at all,” he said. “This is just propaganda,” he added. “We appealed to the World Health Organization … to at least provide us with treatment if we are not allowed to leave. But on the contrary, what we had has run out.” Abu Nada estimated that 60 to 70 percent of cancer protocols are completely unavailable. Because chemotherapy often requires a specific sequence of drugs, missing even one component renders the entire treatment ineffective. Even palliative care is failing. Painkillers — essential for managing the agony of advanced cancer — are now being rationed. “We try to prioritise,” Abu Nada explained. “Those with widespread cancer are given some, and those who are still on safe ground … we do not give them any.”
A silent killer
The human toll of these shortages is stark. Abu Nada revealed that in the Khan Younis area alone, two to three cancer patients die every single day. “The result is that cancer spreads in the patient’s body like wildfire,” he said. “We have gone back 50 years in cancer treatment.” Currently, 3,250 patients have official referrals for treatment abroad, but are unable to cross the border due to the closure of the Rafah crossing and Israeli bans on medical evacuations. For the remaining medical staff, the psychological burden is immense. “Some specialists have left Gaza,” Abu Nada said. “But even for those who remain, what use is a doctor without tools?” “The doctor has nothing left to do but sit and cry next to this patient who is denied treatment and denied travel.”} Video - Source: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/1/9/we-just-sit-and-cry-gazas-cancer-patients-die-waiting-for-treatment
