◾ One out of every 200 people have been killed in Gaza, and more than one in every 100 are injured. With Israel’s genocidal war in Gaza becoming more severe every day, forced blackouts on information and communications infrastructure are making it impossible to provide accurate and up-to-date numbers for the total death toll in Gaza.
◾ Thomas White, the Gaza chief for the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine (UNRWA), said the UN’s humanitarian operations in Gaza will “grind to a halt” in the next 48 hours unless fuel is allowed to enter. So far, at least 102 UNRWA staff have been killed and at least 27 injured since the beginning of Israel’s genocide in Gaza.
◾ Heavy rainfall in the south of Gaza led to the flooding of tents at UN shelters, posing a new problem for displaced Gazans as brutal Israeli attacks on the supposed “safe zone” in the south intensified. One man at a UN shelter said: “If our children do not die from war, they will die from the cold of winter and hunger.”
◾ Fierce urban combat between the Israeli occupation forces and Palestinian resistance groups is continuing in and around Gaza City. The UN reported that street fighting is preventing emergency workers from saving the people trapped under debris due to Israeli bombardment.
◾ In yet another wave of violent overnight raids in the occupied West Bank, the Israeli occupation forces killed at least seven Palestinians in the city of Tulkarem in the second major Israeli raid in the city in the past few weeks, raising the death toll in the West Bank since October 7 to at least 195. Additionally, another Palestinian was killed near Hebron.
◾ Over 170 Palestinian citizens and students in the territories occupied in ‘48 were arrested due to their support for Gaza on social media.
◾ The Islamic Resistance in Iraq targeted US forces in Syria in drone attacks on the Al-Omar oil field and the “Green Village” in eastern Syria.
◾ The Justice for Gaza initiative, which calls for the International Criminal Court (ICC) to investigate all members of Israel’s war cabinet for war crimes, is gaining traction as nearly 1,800 people have signed the initiative.
