Israel Keeps Up Bombardment As Ceasefire Talks Intensify - Gaza

An injured child is seen at Al-Ahli Arab Hospital after an Israeli airstrike in Gaza City, on December 19, 2024. At least 20 Palestinians were killed in Israeli bombings targeting two schools sheltering displaced civilians and a house in eastern Gaza City, Palestinian sources said on Thursday. U.S. and Arab mediators are working around the clock to hammer out a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas, sources close to the talks said, while in the Gaza Strip medics said Israeli strikes had killed 44 Palestinians on Thursday. The mediators, at talks in Egypt and Qatar, are trying to forge a deal to pause the 14-month-old war in the Hamas-ruled enclave that would include a release of hostages seized from Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, along with Palestinian prisoners held by Israel.

Death Toll Tops 45,000 - Gaza

Death Toll Tops 45,000 - Gaza

A group of people gathers around as medics carry an injured person on a stretcher at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah, central Gaza Strip, on December 14, 2024. The incident follows an Israeli airstrike that targeted the Deir al-Balah municipality building. The death toll in the Gaza Strip from the 14-month war between Israel and Hamas militants has topped 45,000 people, Palestinian health officials said Monday. The Gaza Health Ministry said the real toll is likely higher because thousands of bodies are still buried under rubble or in areas that medics cannot access. Almost 107,000 have been injured since the start of the war, the ministry added. It does not distinguish between civilians and combatants in its count, but it has said that more than half of the fatalities are women and children.
