In Gaza City, six bodies, including that of a baby, were recovered from two houses struck by airstrikes, according to the Hamas-run Civil Defence agency.

On January 8, 2025, Israeli airstrikes in the Gaza Strip resulted in the deaths of at least 14 individuals, including five children, according to medical and Civil Defense sources.

In the last 24 hours, a total of 51 fatalities were reported across Gaza, with deadly attacks occurring in central and northern regions in addition to southern Gaza.

Gaza's health ministry has issued an urgent appeal for fuel to keep hospital generators operational, warning that they are on the brink of failure, which could endanger hundreds of patients.

The situation has worsened as hospitals in Gaza ran out of fuel for electricity generation after the last shipment was looted on January 6, 2025.

Recent strikes have targeted civilian areas, including a tent camp for displaced people in al-Mawasi, where a mother and her four children were killed.

The Israeli military has not commented on the recent attacks, and it remains uncertain whether the children were in a designated humanitarian zone when they were killed.

Israel's military claims to target militants, alleging that they often hide among civilian populations, while also frequently striking hospitals and clinics.

The ongoing conflict, which began on October 7, 2023, has led to more than 45,930 deaths in Gaza, as reported by the territory's health ministry.

The conflict escalated following Hamas's attack on Israel, which resulted in approximately 1,200 deaths and the abduction of around 250 individuals.

Currently, about 100 hostages are believed to still be held in Gaza, with at least a third presumed dead.

Indirect negotiations for a ceasefire and hostage release are ongoing in Qatar, with indications of significant progress from US President-elect Donald Trump's envoy.
