At least 30 Palestinians killed in Gaza by Israeli air strikes
Relatives mourn over the bodies of victims of overnight Israeli army strikes at multiple locations in central Gaza Strip, at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah, January 3, 2025

AT LEAST 30 Palestinians, including children, were killed in Gaza by Israeli air strikes early today, bringing the number of people killed in the past 24 hours to 56.

This came as stalled ceasefire talks were set to resume and as a United Nations rapporteur said the United States and Germany were responsible for providing Israel with 99 per cent of its weapons and ammunition suppilies.

At the al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, staff said more than a dozen women and children had been killed in strikes that hit various places in central Gaza, including Nuseirat, Zawaida, Maghazi and Deir al-Balah.

The colonial mindset behind the governance of the UN is the reason for its inertia when it comes to conflict resolution, argues ROGER McKENZIE – but can China’s Global Governance Initiative point in a new direction of global equality?
