Morning update Good morning, Middle East Eye readers, Here are the latest updates on Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza and its apartheid regime in the occupied West Bank: Winter storms are compounding the suffering of hundreds of thousands of displaced Palestinians in Gaza, with families exposed to cold, flooding and inadequate shelter across the besieged enclave. Aid agencies say Israeli restrictions at border crossings continue to prevent the entry of basic shelter materials, leaving civilians without tents, blankets and other winter essentials. The United Nations says it has relief supplies ready to move into Gaza but remains unable to deliver them due to Israeli limits on access. The worsening humanitarian emergency comes as Qatar’s Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani met United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Washington, DC, to discuss efforts to shore up Gaza’s fragile ceasefire. Despite the truce, Israeli attacks continued. Medical sources say at least 11 Palestinians were wounded in strikes in central Gaza City. In the occupied West Bank, Israeli military and settler violence has also intensified. Palestinian news agency Wafa reported that Israeli troops shot a man in his 20s in the foot in Qalqilya. He was taken to hospital and remains in stable condition. Palestinian health authorities say Israeli attacks have killed at least 70,668 people in Gaza and wounded 171,152 others since October 2023. In Israel, authorities say 1,139 people were killed during the Hamas-led 7 October attack, with more than 200 taken captive.
