Palestinian Detainees threatened to be executed by Hanging
Quds news - Jan 13, 2026
{Israeli Media Reveals Final Draft of Bill to Execute Palestinian
Detainees by Hanging
Israeli media say the final draft of a bill to execute Palestinians held
in Israeli jails would allow the hanging of Palestinian detainees within
90 days, ban direct lawyer meetings, grant full immunity to
executioners, and enforce total isolation, sparking fierce legal and
human rights outrage.
Occupied Palestine (QNN)- Israeli public broadcaster KAN has revealed
the final text of an infamous bill that would allow the execution of
Palestinian detainees and hostages, led by National Security Minister
Itamar Ben Gvir. The draft law specifies hanging as the method of
execution, to be carried out by a specially appointed prison officer
whose identity would remain secret and who would receive full criminal
and civil immunity. According to the bill, Palestinian detainees and
hostages sentenced to death would be held in a separate, isolated
facility under strict conditions. Visits would be severely restricted
and limited only to authorized officials, while direct meetings with
lawyers would be banned and replaced by video calls only. The
legislation sets a maximum period of 90 days to carry out the execution
after the final verdict. The execution would take place in the presence
of the prison director, a representative of the judiciary, an official
observer, and a representative of the detainee’s family. The reports
contradict earlier reports that referred to lethal injection. The
legislation has already passed its first reading and is now heading
toward its second and third readings in the Israeli parliament. Haaretz
reported that the prison commissioner would appoint the officer
responsible for the execution. The law would allow the execution to
proceed even if some required attendees were absent, in order to prevent
delays.
The draft allows the Israel Prison Service to publish details of the
execution on its website, while keeping the identities of those who
carried it out confidential. The bill bans any commutation,
cancellation, or reduction of the death sentence once it is issued.
Under the proposal, courts could issue death sentences even without a
request from the attorney general. Trials would take place before
military judges holding the rank of lieutenant colonel or higher.
According to the bill’s text, the law aims to apply to anyone who kills
a Jew including those who plan or assist in such acts. On November 11,
the Knesset approved the bill in its first reading by a vote of 39 out
of 120 members, with 16 voting against. The date of the next vote has
not yet been announced. Palestinian detainees’ rights groups say Israeli
authorities have already tightened restrictions, including banning
family visits, reducing food portions, and limiting access to showers.
The push to advance the execution bill comes as Palestinians continue to
face the consequences of Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza since October
8, 2023. The period has also seen intensified Israeli assaults and
widespread abductions in the occupied West Bank, as Israel continues to
hold at least 9000 Palestinian hostages in its jails, including hundreds
of womwn and children.} Video - Source: https://qudsnen.co/post?id=67055&slug=israeli-media-reveals-final-draft-of-bill-to-execute-palestinian-detainees-by-hanging

Palestinian prisoners treated as animals
Quds news - Jan 13, 2026
{He Witnessed Inmate Killings: Palestinian Minor Detainee Says He Was
Electrocuted, Starved, and Beaten in Israeli Jails
The Palestinian Center for Prisoners Advocacy documented one of the
“harshest and bloodiest accounts” of the severe conditions endured by
Palestinian detainees in Israeli prisons, including torture, starvation,
and medical negligence.
He Witnessed Inmate Killings: Palestinian Minor Detainee Says He Was
Electrocuted, Starved, and Beaten in Israeli Jails
Gaza (QNN)- A Palestinian minor detainee described the harsh conditions
he endured after being abducted by Israeli forces from Gaza during the
genocide. He
said he was subjected to electric shocks, starvation, and severe
beatings, and was forced to imitate animal sounds as a form of
humiliation in Israeli jails. The Palestinian Center for Prisoners
Advocacy documented one of the “harshest and bloodiest accounts” of the
severe conditions endured by Palestinian detainees in Israeli prisons,
including torture, starvation, and medical negligence.
Here’s what Bashir said:
“On the morning of Wednesday, December 27, 2023, I was forcibly
displaced with my family at Abu Halu al-Gharbi School in the al-Bureij
refugee camp. Suddenly, Israeli occupation forces stormed the school and
completely surrounded it. Everyone—men, women, and children—was ordered
to go outside after removing their outer clothing and raising their
hands. The scene was horrifying: women were crying and clinging to their
husbands and sons. My mother held my hand tightly, trembling with fear.”
He continues:
“At the time, I was only eighteen years old. I whispered to my mother,
‘Let me go. I’ll see what happens and come back.’ I stepped outside, not
knowing where I was being taken. I stood with five others in front of
the Israeli soldiers. After a humiliating search, I was ordered to move
forward. Suddenly, a soldier attacked me, striking my face with his
rifle until I lost consciousness. My hands were bound behind my back, my
eyes were blindfolded, and I was thrown into an armored personnel
carrier.” “A long and brutal journey followed to an unknown location
they called Sufa. There, the real nightmare began. I was taken into
interrogation, into a room they referred to as ‘the music room.’
Deafening music played continuously, causing severe pain and mental
distress. The cold was extreme. There was no food, no water, and no
access to a bathroom. Any request, no matter how basic, was met with
beatings or the use of dogs.”
Bashir adds:
“Once, when I asked to use the toilet, a soldier beat me and released a
dog that bit my leg, then poured cold water over my head. I remained
shackled, hands and feet bound behind my back, at all times. When my
interrogation began, they dragged me violently across the ground. My
bare feet scraped over broken glass, tearing open and bleeding. Inside
the interrogation room, they stripped me naked, forced me into diapers,
and attached electric electrodes to my body.”
“They electrocuted me until I lost consciousness. When I regained
awareness, they shocked me again. After hours of this torture, I felt
completely detached from my body, as though I no longer existed.”
He continues:
“Afterward, I was transferred to military camps, where I spent 29 days
that felt like 29 years. Cold, hunger, and daily beatings were constant.
There was no distinction between children and adults. I repeatedly
shouted, ‘I am a minor,’ but they responded with insults and intensified
the abuse. I suffered severe dizziness and dehydration. Because I was
the youngest, they would call me out and force me to stand, bound, in
front of the fence for hours—purely for entertainment.” “On January 24,
2024, I was transferred with others my age to the Megiddo Prison for
minors. Even the transport was another form of torture. Inside the bus,
the curtains were drawn, and we were beaten and electrocuted until blood
poured from my nose and I suffered temporary paralysis. I arrived barely
able to stand.” “Despite being labeled a ‘juvenile prison,’ the
reception involved a violent beating known as ‘the ceremony.’ We were
placed in cramped cages, and five soldiers entered while we were
shackled and beat us on our joints and knees for half an hour. We were
forced—children—to imitate animal sounds as a form of humiliation.”
Bashir recalls:
“On April 8, 2024, after I officially turned eighteen, I was transferred
alone to Negev Prison, commonly known as ‘the Gaza slaughterhouse.’ The
reception there was yet another beating. Inside the prison, there was no
medical care, no adequate clothing, and none of the most basic
necessities of life. In Section 19A, there was no toilet, so we were
forced to relieve ourselves in plastic bags and empty food cans.”
Describing the most tragic moments, he says:
“I witnessed the deaths of friends due to illness and deliberate medical
neglect. We were denied family visits and forced to endure the harsh
winter cold wearing only light summer clothing. Three days before our
release, on October 9, 2025, the prison administration launched a
violent assault against us. They fired tear gas, rubber bullets, and
sound grenades, released dogs, and sprayed us with pepper spray. Many
were injured, and our wounds were left untreated.” “On October 10, my
name was called as part of the prisoner exchange deal. Until the final
moment, the beatings and verbal abuse continued. On October 13, 2025, I
was released from captivity. The feeling of freedom was overwhelming,
but it was overshadowed by fear for my family.” “On the way home, I met
my older brother, Anas. I was overjoyed to see him, but he quietly told
me, “Father was killed.” I collapsed in tears. When I finally arrived
home, people welcomed me with great joy, but it was an incomplete joy—my
father’s face was absent, and the shadow of loss and war remained
present in everything.”} Video - Source: https://qudsnen.co/post?id=67054&slug=he-witnessed-inmate-killings-palestinian-minor-detainee-says-he-was-electrocuted-starved-and-beaten-in-israeli-jails

{UK hunger striker Heba Muraisi: ‘I think about how or when I could die’
The 31-year-old Palestine Action-linked remand prisoner tells Al Jazeera
that she is suffering with pain as her protest reaches a critical stage.

[Courtesy: Heba Muraisi]
London, United Kingdom – Heba Muraisi, a Palestine Action-affiliated
activist who has refused food for 72 days in prison, has told Al Jazeera
that she “no longer feels hunger”, is suffering with pain and knows that
her death may be imminent. The 31-year-old responded to questions via a
friend who regularly visits her in New Hall prison in northern England.
“Physically, I am deteriorating as the days go by. I no longer feel
hunger, I feel pain,” Muraisi said. “I don’t think about my life, I
think about how or when I could die, but despite this, mentally I’ve
never been stronger, more determined and sure, and most importantly, I
feel calm and a great sense of ease.”Muraisi was arrested on November
19, 2024, over her alleged involvement in a break-in months earlier at
the UK subsidiary of the Israeli defence firm Elbit Systems in Bristol.
If she survives, she will have spent at least a year and a half in
prison before her trial date, which is reportedly due no earlier than
June this year – well beyond the UK’s usual six-month pre-trial
detention limit. She is the longest-fasting hunger striker of a group of
eight activists who have joined the rolling protest since early
November. Four are currently refusing food, including Muraisi and Kamran
Ahmed, a 28-year-old who has not eaten for more than two months. “Even
though the risks may be lifelong consequences or a devastating end, I
think it’s important to fight for justice and for freedom,” she told Al
Jazeera.
‘I can no longer read like how I used to’
In recent weeks, the British media has intensified its coverage of the
prison protest, said to be the largest coordinated hunger strike in
British history since 1981, when Irish Republican inmates were led by
Bobby Sands. Sands died on the 66th day of his protest, becoming a
symbol of the Irish Republican cause. Nine others also died of
starvation.
“I’m choosing to continue this because for the first time in 15 months,
I’m finally being heard,” said Muraisi. A Londoner of Yemeni origin who
had worked as a florist and lifeguard, Muraisi 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. At times, she has lost the ability to speak, and her memory
is declining, friends who have recently visited her have said. “Since
concentrating has become gradually more difficult, I can no longer read
like how I used to, so now I listen to the radio a lot,” she told Al
Jazeera via the intermediary. “I love music, and it’s a shame I can’t
get the CDs I want, but nonetheless I’m grateful to have songs playing.”
Last week, an emergency physician who is advising the hunger strikers
told Al Jazeera that he believes Muraisi and Ahmed have reached a
critical phase in which death and irreversible health damage are
increasingly likely. Ahmed’s weight has dropped to 56kg from the healthy
74kg he entered jail at; he is suffering from cardiac atrophy, or heart
shrinkage, chest pain and twitching, according to his sister, Shahmina
Alam. His speech is slurred, he is now partially deaf in his left ear,
and his heart rate has intermittently fallen below 40bpm in recent days,
she said. The group of hunger striking activists are among 29 remand
prisoners being held in various jails over their alleged involvement in
the Bristol incident and a break-in at the 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 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 seek an end to
what they call censorship in prison, accusing authorities of withholding
mail, calls and books. Muraisi has also asked to be returned to HMP
Bronzefield in Surrey as HMP New Hall, where she was moved in October,
is about 200 miles away – much further from home. Palestine Action,
which says it supports direct action without violence and accuses the UK
government of complicity in Israel’s atrocities, is fighting against the
proscription in courts as six of those charged in the Bristol case are
currently on trial. Asked if she can access news about Palestine from
jail, Muraisi, who has family members in Gaza, accused prison officials
of “systematically” blocking articles and newspapers “sent in for me”.
“Anything Palestine-related, including the book We Are Not Numbers [an
anthology of emerging writers from Gaza], has been deemed inappropriate.
I rely on those I call for news,” she said.
At the time of publishing, neither the UK Ministry of Justice nor New
Hall prison had responded to Al Jazeera’s request for comment.} Video -

Palestinians struggle as heavy rain and strong winds damage
tents-photo-Salhi-Anadolu
Al Jazeera - Jan 13, 2026
{Eight die in Gaza as storm brings extreme cold, collapses buildings
Civil Defence warns of catastrophic repercussions from the storm for
Palestinians, who lack adequate shelter, as Israel continues to block
aid, critical supplies in violation of truce. Eight Palestinians have
died in war-ravaged Gaza as a new storm has brought cold temperatures,
piled on further misery to tens of thousands of displaced people
surviving in flimsy shelters and caused strong winds that have toppled
buildings damaged by Israeli attacks in its genocidal war on the
enclave. Israel continues to block desperately needed humanitarian aid
and critical supplies for shelters from entering the besieged Gaza Strip
in violation of a ceasefire that began on October 10. A spokesperson for
Gaza’s Civil Defence told Al Jazeera on Tuesday that four deaths have
been recorded due to cold temperatures caused by a severe weather
depression that has brought torrential rain and freezing winds to the
coastal enclave. A source at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in central Gaza’s
Deir el-Balah said one of the victims was a one-year-old who died in a
tent before being brought to the facility. “We’ve had children die of
hypothermia again in the last few days. We’ve now gone to six children
who died of hypothermia just in this winter,” UNICEF spokesperson James
Elder said Tuesday. Four other Palestinians were killed when war-damaged
buildings toppled during the storm, the Civil Defence and officials at
al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City’s Remal neighbourhood said. Three people,
including a 15-year-old girl, were killed when one building collapsed in
Gaza City while a fourth was killed in a separate building collapse in
the city. Civil Defence spokesperson Mahmoud Basal warned of
catastrophic repercussions from the storm for Gaza’s population, the
majority of whom have been left without adequate shelter as a result of
Israel’s war and its ongoing restrictions on goods entering the
territory. In a statement, Hamas said it was regrettable that the
international community was failing to provide relief to Gaza, saying
the rising death toll and spread of illness showed the territory was
“experiencing the most horrific form of genocide”.
Surge of hospital patients
A Civil Defence spokesperson said hospitals across the territory were
observing an influx of patients, particularly children, with
cold-related illnesses and the organisation had received hundreds of
calls for support due to extreme cold. He said shelters had been damaged
by the storm and were no longer fit for use while other tents were being
blown away completely by strong winds in western Gaza City. Amjad Shawa,
director of the Palestinian NGO Network in Gaza, told Al Jazeera that
the situation was the worst it had been since the winter storms began.
He said about 10,000 families on Gaza’s coast were exposed to danger and
further displacement as a result of the storm. Shawa said Israel’s
restrictions on goods entering the Strip were preventing access to
much-needed shelter and medical supplies and hampering the work of aid
organisations, endangering Gaza’s hard-hit population. Gaza City Mayor
Yahya al-Sarraj told Al Jazeera that Palestinians in the Strip were
trapped in “tragic” circumstances, sheltering in inadequate tents and
shelters, many of which were at risk of collapse, with insufficient
supplies of medicine to treat those who are ill or wounded. He called on
the international community to pressure Israel to allow aid into the
territory so Palestinians would be able to rebuild their homes. The
low-pressure system is expected to bring cold temperatures to Gaza until
at least Tuesday evening, forecasters said.
‘Man-made humanitarian catastrophe’
At a briefing on Tuesday, a spokesperson for the Qatari Ministry of
Foreign Affairs condemned the “man-made humanitarian catastrophe” in
Gaza and said Israel should allow aid into the enclave. Majid Al-Ansari
said that Qatar is working with mediators to push for the transition to
the second phase of the Gaza agreement, noting that the complexities on
the table at this moment necessitate progress towards implementing this
phase. Al-Ansari stressed in his statements the need to avoid linking
the agreement in Gaza with the opening of the Rafah crossing or the
entry of humanitarian aid without conditions, adding that every day that
passes without aid entering Gaza means more victims. He also stated that
there are no specific timetables regarding Gaza, noting that Qatari
contacts are ongoing and daily to push the agreement forward, and he
asked Israel to answer the question: “Why is the implementation of the
Gaza agreement being delayed?” As the death toll from the storm rose in
Gaza, UNICEF said dozens of children have been killed since the start of
the ceasefire three months ago. “More than 100 children have been killed
in Gaza since the ceasefire of early October. That’s roughly a girl or a
boy killed here every day during a ceasefire,” Elder, the UN children’s
agency spokesman, told reporters. He said the children had been killed
in air strikes, drone strikes, tank shelling and by live ammunition.}

{Seven Children Have Frozen to Death in Gaza Since November as Israel
Refuses to Allow Shelters in
The Office said 24 people have also died after war-damaged-buildings
collapsed during storms since the start of the winter.
Gaza (QNN)- At least seven children have frozen to death in makeshift
tents in the war-torn Gaza Strip since November, bringing the
cold-related child death toll to 21 since the start of the Israeli
genocide. Israel continues to block much-needed aid from entering the
enclave, including shelter materials, while the harsh winter further
worsens the humanitarian crisis. Since Monday, at least five
Palestinians were killed when buildings damaged during Israel’s genocide
collapsed across Gaza, while a one-year-old child died from severe cold
in a tent in central Gaza after a polar low-pressure system brought
heavy rain and strong winds to the enclave. Mahmoud Basal, the
Palestinian Civil Defense spokesperson in Gaza, has warned that the
situation is “extremely dangerous, as buildings can no longer be
considered safe shelters for residents amid ongoing heavy rain and
strong winds.” “We’ve had children die of hypothermia again in the last
few days. We’ve now gone to six children who died of hypothermia just in
this winter,” UNICEF spokesperson James Elder said Tuesday. A Civil
Defense spokesperson said hospitals across the territory were observing
an influx of patients, particularly children, with cold-related
illnesses and the organization had received hundreds of calls for
support due to extreme cold. He said shelters had been damaged by the
current storm, which hit the enclave on Monday evening, and were no
longer fit for use while other tents were being blown away completely by
strong winds in western Gaza City. Amjad Shawa, director of the
Palestinian NGO Network in Gaza, told Al Jazeera that the situation was
the worst it had been since the winter storms began. He said about
10,000 families on Gaza’s coast were exposed to danger and further
displacement as a result of the storm. Gaza City Mayor Yahya al-Sarraj
said Palestinians in the Strip were trapped in “tragic” circumstances,
sheltering in inadequate tents and shelters, many of which were at risk
of collapse, with insufficient supplies of medicine to treat those who
are ill or wounded. He called on the international community to pressure
Israel to allow aid into the territory so Palestinians would be able to
rebuild their homes. The low-pressure system is expected to bring cold
temperatures to Gaza until at least Tuesday evening, forecasters said.
The Gaza Government Media Office confirmed on Tuesday that 24 people
have died from severe cold since the start of the Israeli genocide in
Ocotber 2023, including 21 children, in displacement camp, in a “serious
indication of the scale of the humanitarian catastrophe threatening the
lives of the most vulnerable.” The Office added that the number of
deaths caused by extreme cold since the start of the current winter has
reached seven children, including infants, amid the absence of heating
sources, the lack of safe shelter, shortages of blankets and winter
clothing, and the continued Israeli restriction on the adequate entry of
humanitarian aid. The Office said 24 people have also died after
war-damaged-buildings collapsed during storms since the start of the
winter. The Office said in just two days, 7000 tents were swept away by
fierce winds and the intensity of the low-pressure system. 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 organization 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,” 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. 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 Gaz. Organizations facing bans didn’t
meet new requirements for sharing information on their staffs, funding
and operations, Israeli occupation authorities said.
Other major organizations affected include the Norwegian Refugee
Council, CARE International, the International Rescue Committee, and
divisions of major charities such as Oxfam and Caritas. International
organizations 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”. Shawa said Israel’s restrictions on goods
entering the Strip were preventing access to much-needed shelter and
medical supplies and hampering the work of aid organisations,
endangering Gaza’s hard-hit population.} Video - Source: https://qudsnen.co/post?id=67053&slug=seven-children-have-frozen-to-death-in-gaza-since-november-as-israel-refuses-to-allow-shelters-in

Ibtihal Sharab, coordinator of the Youth for a Green Future project,
confirmed that the initiative aims to achieve economic empowerment for
young men and women, particularly female entrepreneurs who lost their
projects during the attacks. The project focuses on green economy
practices and finding alternative solutions to the crises Gaza continues
to face. She explained that the exhibition includes 22 sections, ranging
from mobile kitchens designed for women during displacement or those
living permanently in tents, to sections dedicated to producing
detergents and soap amid severe shortages. Other sections focus on
organic farming, clothing upcycling, embroidery, glass painting, and
various environmentally friendly crafts. Sharab noted that Gaza is
filled with creative individuals who challenge all circumstances to
produce solutions from nothing, proving to themselves and the world
their right to life. She emphasized that empowerment is the key to
reviving these projects and enabling them to continue, whether they
focus on heritage crafts, dolls and toys, food and healthy meals, or
recycled wooden products. The lack of raw materials, she added, was the
main driver behind organizing the exhibition. All displayed products
were made from recycled materials sourced locally by women and youth,
despite repeated displacement, security risks, and soaring prices. She
stressed that developing projects from the operational stage to full
production was far from easy. According to Sharab, public turnout
exceeded expectations, as Gazans long for aspects of the life they once
knew before the attacks. She described the exhibition as a rare and
uplifting event that offers diverse products meeting many community
needs, sending a message to the world that Gaza and its people deserve
real opportunities to prove their ability to produce and innovate
together.
An Eco-Friendly Mobile Kitchen

Manar Al-Farra
At one corner of the exhibition, engineer Manar Al-Farra presents her
project on recycling wood to create smart, mobile kitchens. She
explained that the idea emerged from the severe needs of women amid
forced displacement and the harsh reality imposed on Palestinian women.
The kitchen, designed as a wheeled box, can be opened from both sides
and used for washing dishes, as a work surface, or for basic storage.
Al-Farra noted that sourcing raw materials was extremely difficult. She
searched across Gaza City, the central area, and the south to find
suitable components such as sinks, faucets, and accessories available in
local markets. Ultimately, she relied on recycled materials, including
wooden pallets and wheels extracted from beneath the rubble of destroyed
and bombed homes. She added that before the war, she had never
considered such projects, as she worked as an architectural engineer
overseeing major developments and commercial centers. The attacks
transformed her into a displaced woman, moving from place to place with
survival as her primary concern.
Recycled Clothing Through Embroidery and Painting
In another corner, Aida Hamid participates with her project “Nafs,”
which specializes in recycling clothing and incorporating Palestinian
embroidery to give garments a renewed spirit. She explained that old or
damaged clothes—often recovered from under rubble or carrying
sentimental value—are restored and redesigned rather than discarded.
Hamid noted that this approach is not limited to specific cases, as many
women and girls possess torn clothing and cannot afford replacements due
to extreme price inflation, closed crossings, and the blockade. She
emphasized that adding Palestinian embroidery does more than conceal
damage; it restores women’s national identity, which has been eroded
over two years of displacement. By blending modern and traditional
styles, she has produced embroidered dresses and loose jackets popular
among young women today. However, she highlighted major challenges,
including shortages of raw materials and specific colors, prolonged
electricity outages, and the lack of wood needed to complete many
heritage pieces. Rising costs, she added, reduce consumer demand, though
she hopes to one day register “Nafs” as an internationally recognized
brand.
Eco-Friendly Fabric Dolls
In the dolls section, Maha Awad explained that she turned to doll-making
after the war due to the absence of imported goods and mothers’ constant
need to provide simple toys for their children—one of the most basic
rights stripped from Gaza’s children. She produces dolls that are
completely safe, made without metal or plastic, relying instead on
fabric and recycled materials such as old buttons, cotton from discarded
pillows, and surplus factory textiles. Awad crafts dolls in various
shapes and colors and can even create custom dolls based on a child’s
photo or name. She said participating in the exhibition is essential for
marketing herself and her products, especially given the positive
reactions from mothers. Although her income is modest, it helps meet
basic needs.
A Young Woman’s Dream Realized Through Cooking
At another corner titled “Our Dishes Are Different,” Sally Al-Barbari
shared how preparing homemade meals has helped her achieve economic
empowerment and cover basic necessities. She explained that her
participation is especially meaningful, as she was often told that girls
cannot run projects independently or become professional cooks at a
young age. Al-Barbari expressed surprise at the visitors’ positive
feedback, noting that many requested contact details to order more
dishes later. She said this response filled her with pride, as her
passion may now evolve into a personal business. Like many women in
Gaza, she sees such initiatives as a glimmer of hope for the city’s
recovery—one driven by the hands of women who continue to persevere with
extremely limited resources.} Video-Source: https://jinhaagency.com/en/actual/eco-friendly-exhibition-gaza-s-women-transform-rubble-into-creativity-38345

The author's brother Khalid before he was forcibly disappeared in
Gaza-Courtesy of Yusuf El-Mbayed
Al Jazeera - Jan 13, 2026 - By Yusuf El-Mbayed - Writer based in Gaza.
{Gaza’s forcibly disappeared must not be forgotten
My brother is one of many Palestinians Israel continues to illegally
detain. Their release must be part of the ceasefire negotiations.
It has been three months since the “ceasefire” took hold in Gaza. In
this time, Israel has predictably refused to comply with its obligations
under the deal. It continues to block the negotiated amounts of aid into
the Strip. Adequate food, medicine and temporary shelters are not
reaching us. The Rafah crossing remains closed and those needing urgent
medical evacuations still cannot leave. Israel also continues to bomb
us, killing more than 400 people since October 10. The Israeli army
continues to demolish Palestinian homes beyond the so-called yellow
line, laying waste to whole neighbourhoods. Meanwhile, there is ongoing
mediation to push the ceasefire into phase two, where the army would
withdraw and reconstruction would begin. While these efforts offer some
hope that the situation in Gaza may improve, there is one important
issue that they are failing to address: The fate of the Palestinians who
remain in Israeli captivity. After Israel received all its captives,
except for the body of a deceased one, there has been no talk of the
continuous suffering of Palestinians who were forcibly disappeared from
Gaza by the Israeli army. There are at least 1,800 Palestinians from
Gaza who remain detained; that is in addition to more than 8,000 others
who have been kidnapped from the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem.
My brother is one of those 1,800 people from Gaza.
Khalid is a 34-year-old father of three. His children, Dyala, 8, Hamdan,
10, and Abeer, 11, were the centre of his life before his abduction.
Khalid went missing on December 3, 2023. We – 17 family members – had
just fled our home in Shujayea neighbourhood because of Israeli attacks
and were sheltering at the Western Directorate of Education in Gaza
City, near Yarmouk Stadium. At night, I woke up to the sound of heavy
military vehicles moving in. I realised my brother, who had been
sleeping next to me, was gone. Hours later, Israeli forces stormed the
building and forcibly separated the women and children from the older
boys and men. We were eventually let go, and 15 of us reunited at
al-Shifa hospital; Khalid and our father were missing. Fifteen days
later, we learned that our father had been released and was sent to
Rafah. We were able to get in touch with him, and he said he believed
Khalid had also been detained in the Israeli attack, not killed. Almost
one year later, as we took shelter at my sister’s house in Shujayea, I
received a call from a Red Cross employee, asking if Khalid was my
brother. My heart dropped. I asked for any news about Khalid; was he
still alive? I was informed my brother was alive, detained in the
notorious Ofer prison. When the January 2025 ceasefire was announced,
hope returned. We were finally reunited with our father, who was able to
come to the north. We also expected Khalid’s name to show up in the
lists of Palestinian prisoners Israel was going to release in the
multiple exchanges of captives. My younger brother, Mohammed, and I
anxiously scrolled through the names. Khalid’s name did not appear on
any list. Later, we heard from several freed prisoners that Khalid was
being held in Nafha Prison. When the October ceasefire was announced, we
searched the list again. A total of 1,718 civilians kidnapped from Gaza,
along with only 250 Palestinians unjustly serving life or long
sentences, were released.
Khalid was not among them.
This broke me in ways I can’t describe. I cannot fully express the depth
of my disappointment in a world so unjust. Some days, the longing for my
brother feels heavier than I can carry. I think about him constantly,
about where he is and what he’s going through. The distance between us
feels unbearable. There are moments when I would do anything just to see
him, even briefly, just to know he’s still there. The separation has
settled into my life in a quiet, exhausting way. It follows me
everywhere, shaping my days and filling the spaces he used to occupy.

Abeer and Dyala and his nephew Hamdan in Gaza-Courtesy of Yusuf
El-Mbayed
When I look at Dyala, Hamdan, and Abeer, my eyes fill with tears. Eight
months ago, their mother, Nadia, was killed when the cafe she worked in
was bombed by the Israeli army; 38 others were massacred with her.
Now, the three live without either parent. I long to see Khalid’s face
free from fear and violence. I dream of laughing with him, hugging him
and spending time together. I am one of thousands of Palestinians who
are held prisoner to constant fear and anxiety for their loved ones held
in Israel’s dungeons. We have all heard the horrifying stories from
released prisoners about the torture and abuse. We have seen bodies,
shrunk and emaciated; skin, bruised and melted. Israel has celebrated
the return of all its captives – dead or alive – as a diplomatic
victory, a moment of closure. But for Palestinians, there is no closure.
No one is celebrating. Our loved ones remain in captivity. To those at
the negotiation table: We urgently call on you to bring the issue of
Palestinian prisoners back. This is not a matter that can be put off –
it is a moral and urgent imperative. Palestinian prisoners are not a
file to be shelved; they are human beings who deserve dignity and
justice. Their lives are in imminent danger. To Khalid: Your absence
pains us and we long for your return. We will not rest until you are
back with us. We will wait for you, dear Khalid, for as long as it
takes.

{‘Alive or dead?’: Gaza families trapped in information void about
relatives
Rights groups warn of ‘slow execution’ in Israeli jails as Palestinian
families receive conflicting news and the ICRC remains barred from
visiting those in captivity. For thousands of Palestinian families in
Gaza, the ongoing Israeli genocidal war is not just about the huge loss
of life, utter destruction and relentless bombardment, but the agonising
silence of missing loved ones swallowed by Israel’s detention system.
“We do not know if he is detained or a martyr,” the wife of Abdul
Rahman, a young man who disappeared in January, told Al Jazeera. “We
filled out many forms … but hope still exists.” This psychological limbo
was highlighted this week by the case of Hamza Adwan, a 67-year-old
detainee whose family was informed of his death on Sunday – four months
after he actually died in custody on September 9, 2025. Adwan, a father
of nine who had already lost two sons before the war, was arrested at a
checkpoint on November 12, 2024. According to his family, he was
detained despite suffering from serious health issues, including heart
disease, and requiring constant medical care. The delayed notification
of his death is not an isolated incident. It reflects a systematic
policy of “enforced disappearance” – creating a total void of
information that the Commission of Detainees’ Affairs and the
Palestinian Prisoner’s Society describe as an integral part of the
ongoing “war of genocide”.
A system of uncertainty
In testimonies gathered by Al Jazeera, families described a chaotic
reality where official information is often scarce or contradictory. The
father of Amro, a young man arrested in December 2024, lives in a cruel
state of uncertainty. He was initially told by officials that his son
had died in custody on December 13. However, released prisoners later
reported seeing Amro alive after that date. “We live on hope that he is
alive and well,” the father said, despite fearing his son may have been
subjected to “unimaginable torture”.
‘Legalising’ execution
The rights groups accused Israel of pursuing a policy of “slow
execution” through starvation, medical neglect, and torture, aimed at
making this “the deadliest phase in the history of the Palestinian
prisoner movement”. They warned that this surge in deaths coincides with
Israeli political efforts to pass legislation approving the execution of
Palestinian prisoners. According to the groups, this move aims to
“legalise” extrajudicial killings and transform them from actions taken
outside the law into a “legitimate and codified policy”. This
legislative push targets a population where the vast majority are held
without charge or trial.
By the numbers
The Commission and the Prisoner’s Society released alarming new
statistics illustrating the scale of the crackdown. As of January 2026,
the total number of Palestinians held in Israeli prisons has surpassed
9,300.
Most are legally in limbo, including:
3,385 administrative detainees, held indefinitely on secret evidence
without trial.
1,237 detainees classified as “unlawful combatants”, a designation
Israel uses to hold Palestinians from Gaza without granting them
prisoner-of-war status or legal rights.
With the confirmation of Adwan’s death, the number of prisoners known to
have died in Israeli custody since the war began has risen to 87,
including 51 from Gaza.
ICRC denied access
Compounding the families’ distress is the paralysis of international
monitors. The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) confirmed
to Al Jazeera that it remains completely barred from visiting
Palestinian detainees. “The ICRC has not been able to access detainees
held in Israeli detention centres since October 2023,” Amani Al Naouq,
the ICRC spokesperson in Gaza, told Al Jazeera. “We are constantly
receiving inquiries from families concerned about the health and safety
of their loved ones,” she added.
Medics under fire

Dr Hussam Abu Safia
The crackdown has not spared those saving lives. On Monday, medical
staff in Gaza held a protest demanding the release of 30 doctors and
paramedics detained from Kamal Adwan Hospital alone. Protesters held
banners and photos of dozens of detained colleagues, prominently
featuring Dr Hussam Abu Safia, the hospital director who was seized
while treating patients. “These heroes … were arrested outside the
framework of international humanitarian law,” said Fares Afana, director
of ambulance services. “The testimonies we hear from those released are
beyond the comprehension of the human mind.” Another medical
representative at the rally warned of the lethal risks facing detainees,
pointing to the fate of Dr Iyad al-Rantisi, the director of the
maternity department at Kamal Adwan Hospital, who died under
interrogation. “Our colleagues have been subjected to kidnapping and
torture … and even killing inside detention centres, just as happened
with Dr al-Rantisi,” the representative said.} Video - Source: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/1/13/alive-or-dead-gaza-families-trapped-in-information-void-about-relatives

Abdel-Fattah
Quds news - Jan 13, 2026
{Adelaide Writers’ Week 2026 Cancelled After Randa Abdel-Fattah Removal;
Board Issues Apology
In a statement on Tuesday afternoon, the Adelaide festival board
announced the event, which was scheduled to begin on 28 February, would
no longer go ahead.
Adelaide (QNN)- Adelaide writers’ week 2026 has been cancelled after
days of turmoil, as more than 180 authors and speakers withdrew in
protest of the board’s decision to remove Palestinian-Australian author
Randa Abdel-Fattah. In a statement on Tuesday afternoon, the Adelaide
festival board announced the event, which was scheduled to begin on 28
February, would no longer go ahead. The three remaining members of the
festival board have resigned immediately, after the resignations of four
others, with the exception of the Adelaide city council representative,
whose term expires in February. The board’s statement came hours after
the AWW director, Louise Adler, announced her resignation, writing: “I
cannot be party to silencing writers.” The decision to cancel the event
entirely came five days after the festival board announced it had
intervened to drop Abdel-Fattah from appearing at the festival over the
Bondi attack, despite having no links. On Tuesday, the board apologized
to Abdel-Fattah “for how the decision was represented”. “[We] reiterate
this is not about identity or dissent but rather a continuing rapid
shift in the national discourse around the breadth of freedom of
expression in our nation following Australia’s worst terror attack in
history,” it added. “As a board we took this action out of respect for a
community experiencing the pain from a devastating event. Instead, this
decision has created more division and for that we express our sincere
apologies,” the board wrote in its statement on Tuesday. “Many authors
have since announced they will no longer appear at Adelaide Writers’
Week 2026 and it is the Adelaide Festival’s position that the event can
no longer go ahead as scheduled for this year. This is a deeply
regrettable outcome.” “We recognize and deeply regret the distress this
decision has caused to our audience, artists and writers, donors,
corporate partners, the government and our own staff and people.” In a
statement, Abdel-Fattah said she rejected the festival board’s apology,
accusing it of being “disingenuous” and saying it “adds insult to
injury”. “It is clear that the board’s regret extends to how the message
of my cancellation was conveyed, not the decision itself,” she wrote.
“Once again the board, citing the ‘national discourse’ for an action
that specifically targets me, a Palestinian Australian Muslim woman, is
explicitly articulating that I cannot be part of the national discourse,
which is insulting and racist in the extreme. “The board again
reiterates the link to a terror attack I had nothing to do with, nor did
any Palestinian. The Bondi shooting does not mean I or anyone else has
to stop advocating for an end to the illegal occupation and systematic
extermination of my people – this is an obscene and absurd demand.”
Adler told the Guardian that the cancellation of AWW was “no surprise”.
“It was untenable,” she said. “There were 165 sessions and as of
yesterday at about 4pm, only 12 events had a full complement of writers
left. Seventy per cent of all the writers had withdrawn. You can’t
stitch that back together. All those Australian writers, the
internationals, people like Zadie Smith, M Gessen, Jonathan Coe – all of
that hard work, gone.” “I am so sorry that this masterclass in poor
governance has landed us in this position,” she added. The Adelaide
festival board said in its statement that the new board will focus on
“ensuring a successful Adelaide festival proceeds in a way which
safeguards the long and rich cultural legacy of our state but also
protects the hardworking staff delivering this important event”. On
Tuesday evening, the South Australian government announced members of a
new board, to be headed by Judy Potter, who previously led the Adelaide
festival’s board for just under a decade. Abdel-Fattah had faced
sustained criticism for her pro-Palestine, anti-genocide comments.}
