On December 8, 2024, Israeli airstrikes in central Gaza killed at least 14 individuals, including children, according to Palestinian health officials. A significant strike flattened a residential building in the Bureij refugee camp, where many casualties were taken to the local Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital. Earlier that day, another strike hit a tent in the Nuseirat refugee camp, resulting in the deaths of a family of four. The bombing of the Indonesian Hospital also injured several patients, highlighting the urgent need for safety in medical facilities. The ongoing Israeli military offensive against Hamas has led to over 45,600 Palestinian deaths since the conflict reignited on October 7, 2023.

With winter approaching, many Palestinians are in dire conditions, relying on aid as political tensions continue to escalate.
