War On Gaza

As per reports, doctors have said three Palestinian babies have died of hypothermia in a displacement camp in southern Gaza. These deaths come as temperatures continue to drop in Gaza and Israel continues to block aid into the war-torn strip.

Meanwhile, fresh air strikes at the Nuseirat refugee camp have killed five journalists. With this killing, as per Gaza's Government Media Office, the number of journalists killed in the Gaza war has increased to 201.

"We hold the ‘Israeli’ occupation, the American administration, and the countries participating in the crime of genocide, such as the United Kingdom, Germany, and France fully responsible for committing this heinous and brutal crime,” it said in an official statement.

As per reports, the vehicle of the five journalists were targeted in the strikes. The vans, which was clearly marked with the words "press", would have kept the journalists safe from strikes.

“Neverthelessnustabet gaming, Israel will continue tirelessly in its efforts to bring home all of our hostages,” the statement added.
