Fire Kills Woman And Child In Gaza Displacement Camp Amid Ceasefire

Palestinians mourn the bodies of a child and a woman from the Abu al-Khair family who are killed after a fire breaks out in their tent at a temporary camp, caused by a candle that ignites the tent, in Gaza City, inside Al-Shifa Hospital, on January 2, 2026, 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.
