Fire Kills Woman And Child In Gaza Displacement Camp Amid Ceasefire

Palestinian displaced people inspect the damage to their temporary tents in Gaza City, Palestine, on January 2, 2026, after a fire breaks out the previous night, killing a woman and a child and injuring another child from the Abu al-Khair family. The fire is believed to be caused by a candle amid bitter cold. A fragile ceasefire, which begins in October, halts two years of war between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip, despite both sides exchanging accusations of violating the truce.
