New Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip leave at least 48 dead in the last few hours
At least 48 Palestinians have died in the Gaza Strip in the last 24 hours from Israeli attacks, bringing the total number of fatalities in the last fifteen months to 45,854, including almost 18,000 children, according to data from the Ministry of Health of the enclave.
On the other hand, the injured are 109,139, after adding the 75 that arrived at the Gaza hospitals on the last day.
In addition, the Ministry controlled by Hamas figures at 11,000 missing under the rubble who have not yet been rescued.
Palestinian medical sources confirmed that they had received six deaths in the hospitals of Jan Yunis, in the southern Strip, as a result of bombings in the nearby city of Rafah, including two children attacked by a quadcopter drone.
Israeli attacks on the Nuseirat refugee camp
Shooting and artillery attacks have also been reported in the last few hours in the Nuseirat refugee camp, in the center of the enclave, where last night a drone attack in the middle of the camp against a meeting of citizens caused 19 injuries who were treated at the Al Awda hospital.
That same hospital received seven injuries as a result of another attack in the nearby Bureij refugee camp, in which three people from the same family, a child and his parents also died on the spot.
There are also reports of attacks within Gaza City, where a woman and her son were killed by a bombing on the Al Omari mosque in Al Daraj, a neighborhood in downtown Gaza City, where attacks were also recorded in the neighborhoods of Sheikh Radwan, Sabra and Zaytun.
Another baby dies of hypothermia and there are already 8 victims of the cold
The baby Yousef Anwar Klubb, who was only 35 days old, died last night of hypothermia in the fenced Gaza Strip, the eighth fatal victim of the cold in recent weeks, which has already claimed the lives of six other babies and a young man.
The baby died “as a result of harsh weather conditions and extreme cold,” confirmed the Ministry of Health in Gaza, which indicated that the victims due to low temperatures in the enclave have risen to eight.
All these deaths have occurred among displaced people in the Mawasi area, in the south of the Strip, who live in precarious tents, many of them damaged by inclement weather, so they do not protect well from the cold in the area, where many Gazans were forcibly forced to flee in the summer months, so they do not have the appropriate warm clothes to face the winter.
“We have repeatedly warned about the dangers of imminent climate depressions, the winter season and the frost waves, which coincide with the catastrophic reality that our Palestinian people live, who face murders, genocide, destruction of homes and vital sectors, as well as displacement and forced migration,” denounced the Gaza Government.
The Government warned that in the coming days “heavy rains and frosts” are expected, which poses a real threat to the lives of the displaced who have already been victims of “war crimes”; and demanded that the United States, Great Britain, France and Germany, countries that support Israel, intercede to “stop the genocide”.
The cold and lack of shelter causes the death of newborns
“The cold climate and lack of shelter are causing the death of newborns in Gaza, while 7,700 newborns lack care to save their lives,” the UN Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA) denounced today.
The UNRWA also denounced the attacks against the health system of the Strip and recalled that the Kamal Adwan hospital in Beit Lahia, the largest in the north of the enclave, has been out of service after being assaulted last week by the Israeli Army, which arrested about 200 people including part of the medical staff and its director, Dr. Husam Abu Safiya, who is in unknown.
“Up to 50 attacks in the vicinity of the hospital have been verified since October 2024,” the UN agency said. Israel launched a harsh “slamed earth” military offensive that month throughout the north of the enclave, which has caused at least 3,000 deaths and a thousand missing, although those figures have not been updated for weeks due to the lack of access to rescue services.

Thirteen cuban military members missing after explosion at arms warehouse
Thirteen members of the Cuban Revolutionary Armed Forces (FAR) have been reported “missing” following an explosion at an arms and ammunition warehouse in the eastern part of the island, the military institution announced.
“As a result of the explosions at an arms and ammunition warehouse in the Melones community… in the province of Holguín, 730 km east of Havana,” two officers, two non-commissioned officers, and nine soldiers are reported as “missing,” according to a statement from the Ministry of the Armed Forces released by Cuban state television.
The statement specified that “investigations are still ongoing at the site,” which led to the evacuation of more than 1,200 residents from areas near the warehouse of a military unit where “aged ammunition was being classified.”
Neither the official press nor Cuban state television have provided images of the explosions at the military unit, but independent media outlets published photos online showing a massive column of smoke and police officers deployed in the streets of the Melones community.

Trump considers declaring National Economic Emergency to justify universal tariffs
U.S. President-elect Donald Trump may be considering declaring a national economic emergency in order to justify implementing a package of universal tariffs on both allied and adversary countries, according to CNN.
The proclamation of these measures would grant the incoming U.S. president the freedom to create a new tariff program using the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).
This move would give the president the authority to manage imports during a national emergency.
According to the report, Trump has a penchant for this law as it provides broad jurisdiction on how tariffs are implemented without strict requirements to prove they are necessary for national security reasons.

Venezuelan opposition candidate Enrique Márquez detained ahead of Maduro’s inauguration
Enrique Márquez, a minority opposition candidate in Venezuela’s July 28 elections, was “arbitrarily detained,” denounced a political coalition he is part of and his wife, who described the action as “kidnapping.”
Since Tuesday night, there has been a wave of reports of detentions, with at least a dozen arrests just over 48 hours before President Nicolás Maduro’s inauguration for a third six-year term, following a controversial reelection.
“We inform that yesterday, 07.01.25, Enrique Márquez was arbitrarily detained,” stated the Popular Democratic Front (FDP).
“He was kidnapped by paramilitary groups who, using force as their law, aim to silence and intimidate those of us who want a better country and have a different vision,” said his wife, Sonia Lugo de Márquez, on the leader’s X account.
