Israel’s relentless bombardment of Gaza continues on New Year’s Day, with at least 17 Palestinians killed in northern Jabalia and the central al-Bureij camp.

Days of heavy rain have flooded hundreds of makeshift shelters across the Strip, piling more misery on displaced Palestinian as Israel continues to restrict the entry of humanitarian aid.

The United Nations says Israel’s attacks on Gaza’s hospitals have pushed its healthcare system to “the brink of total collapse”, and that Israeli justifications that Palestinian armed groups use the facilities are “vague, broad” and “contradicted by publicly available information”.

Israel’s war on Gaza has killed at least 45,541 Palestinians and wounded 108,338 since October 7, 2023. At least 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the Hamas-led attacks that day, and more than 200 were taken captive.
