Palestinian girls cover their heads from the rain as they walk inside a displacement camp in western Gaza City, on December 10, 2025. Hamas says on December 9 that the Gaza ceasefire plan cannot proceed to its second phase as long as Israeli ''violations'' persist and calls on mediators to pressure Israel to respect the agreement. The US-sponsored ceasefire, in effect since October 10, halts the war that begins after Hamas's deadly attack on Israel on October 7, 2023. But it remains fragile as Israel and Hamas accuse each other almost daily of breaches.

Nepali Hindu devotees spread the ingredients of seven grains, locally called ''Satbeej,'' on the day of Bala Chaturdashi, a Hindu festival to give salvation to departed souls, in the premises of Pashupatinath Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Kathmandu, Nepal, on November 19, 2025. The seven grains include dhaan (rice), jau (barley), til (sesame), gahun (wheat), chana (chickpeas), makai (maize), and kaguno (foxtail millet). Devotees walk along Kailash-Suryaghat-Gaurighat-Aryaghat-Guhyeshwari-Mrigasthali-Bishworup-Kirateshwar-108 Shivalinga. In remembrance of beloved ones, Nepali Hindu devotees offer oil-fed lamps into the Bagmati River flowing through the premises of Pashupatinath Temple in Kathmandu on the day of Bala Chaturdashi. The live lamps float on the river, which is believed to lighten the world of departed souls in their afterlife. Devotees remain awake throughout the night, camping on the edge of the Bagmati River facing the Pashupatinath Temple. Rituals for Bala Chaturdashi start from Marga Krishna Trayodashi, the 13th day of the waning moon in the month of Mangsir (8th month according to the Nepali calendar). Devotees who observe this ritual maintain strict fasting, with only one meal that day and abstain from garlic, onions, fish, eggs, and other food items that are said to be impure. In the evening, they reach the Pashupatinath temple or shrines dedicated to Lord Shiva and chant hymns and prayers to Lord Shiva all night long. They light ''Akhanda Jyoti'' in the name of the deceased souls of their families. The next morning, Marga Krishna Chaturdashi, they take a holy bath and start their journey around the Pashupatinath temple premises, spreading seven kinds of grains along the way.
