News brief

More than 46,000 Palestinians killed in Israel-Hamas war. Gaza’s Health Ministry says the death toll from the Israel-Hamas war has climbed above 46,000. The ministry has said women and children make up more than half the fatalities but does not say how many of the dead were fighters or civilians. The Israeli military (IDF) says it has killed over 17,000 militants without providing evidence. It blames Hamas for civilian deaths because it says the militants operate in residential areas. The IDF has repeatedly struck what it claims are militants hiding in shelters and hospitals, often killing women and children. 

‘Cold is death.’ For Gazans in flimsy tents, a winter of sorrow and loss.
