Gaza is facing an unprecedented economic collapse after the Israeli occupation destroyed most of its industrial facilities. Tens of thousands of workers have lost their jobs, as poverty and unemployment rates soar to catastrophic levels, leaving behind a society crushed by siege and hunger.

The United Nations warned that hundreds of thousands of children in Gaza risk becoming a “lost generation” unless education resumes soon. According to Edouard Beigbeder, UNICEF’s regional director for the Middle East and North Africa, this marks the third consecutive year without formal schooling in Gaza.

He said UNICEF has only managed to provide temporary learning spaces for about one-sixth of the affected children, as roughly 85% of schools were destroyed or rendered unusable.

Israel’s Supreme Court once again blocked foreign media access to Gaza after a hearing on Thursday, refusing to lift the months-long entry ban despite the ceasefire. The court granted the Israeli government 30 days to submit new arguments justifying the restrictions.

The Foreign Press Association (FPA), which represents dozens of international outlets, criticized the ruling, accusing Israel of “stalling tactics” to block coverage of Gaza. The group urged the court to take a firm stance against

Newly released photos show a portion of the torture, abuse, and maltreatment endured by Palestinian detainees inside Israeli prisons, where they face ongoing incitement and dehumanization led by Israel's ultranationalist National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir.

A ceasefire does not mean an end the extreme suffering in Gaza. Millions remain in urgent need of food, water, medical supplies, fuel, and adequate shelter, as families return to the rubble of their homes with winter approaching and little protection from the elements.

Mohammad Zaher Taysir Ibrahim, a 16-year-old Palestinian-American, has reported inhumane conditions in the Israeli prison where he has been held since February.

At just 15, Mohammad was taken from his family home in Al-Mazra’a ash-Sharqiyah, near Ramallah, by Israeli forces around 3 a.m. on February 15.

According to documentation from Defense for Children International – Palestine (DCIP), during the detention he was handcuffed behind his back, blindfolded, and beaten with rifle butts while ..

A new poll shows that nearly half of Democratic voters participating in the primary elections have pledged to oppose any candidate receiving funding or support from pro-Israel lobby groups, such as AIPAC.

This stance reflects growing grassroots anger within the Democratic base over Israeli policies in Gaza, especially following the devastating war that resulted in tens of thousands of civilian casualties.

Many voters believe that funding from pro-Israel lobby groups negatively influences U.S

Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis reports that the bodies and remains of 15 slain Palestinians -- originally withheld by Israel -- were handed over on Tuesday to the Palestinian side as part of the ceasefire and exchange deal.

October marks the traditional olive harvest season in the occupied West Bank, a time when Palestinian families gather to pick olives and celebrate their deep-rooted connection to the land.
But what was once a season of community and resilience has increasingly turned into one of fear and confrontation. Israeli settler attacks have surged sharply over the past five harvests, with more than 200 incidents reported last year, nearly double the number in 2023 and three times higher than in 2022.

In a text message Jasper shared, the embassy claimed that it lacked manpower to protect him or US Palestinians and cited legal limits preventing such protection. When he asked whether they could protect him as an American tourist, the embassy replied that they could not.

Amid the rubble and debris, millions of Palestinians in Gaza spend nights inside cracked walls and roofs on the verge of collapse, simply because safe alternatives are unavailable.

Each passing day increases the risks, from sudden collapses, toxic dust, and diseases, to the harsh winter that threatens the lives of children and the elderly.

Saving lives begins with immediate reconstruction and providing safe shelter for those living among the ruins of their homes.

When the Israeli army withdrew to the east of the Netzarim checkpoint under the latest agreement overseen by Trump, the veil was lifted on many atrocities committed by the Israeli forces against the starving people in the Gaza Strip.

At the Netzarim checkpoint, many lives were lost, people from Gaza who, driven by hunger, fell prey to the so-called Gaza Humanitarian Organization. They went and never returned, and their families still know nothing about their fate.
