There have been new explosions in Gaza as the war continues. Many buildings have been damaged, and people are living in very difficult conditions. In the occupied West Bank, at least 54 Palestinians were hurt in attacks by Israeli settlers. Reports say these attacks happened while Israeli forces were present in the area. China has said that if there is a permanent ceasefire in Gaza, it could help reduce tensions in the Red Sea region. China believes peace in Gaza is important for stability in the wider Middle East. In the United Kingdom, the High Court ruled that the government’s decision to ban the protest group Palestine Action as a terrorist organization was unlawful. This means the court found that the ban was not legally correct. Since October 2023, the war has caused heavy losses. In Gaza, at least 72,045 people have been killed and 171,686 have been wounded. In Israel, around 1,139 people were killed during the October 7 attacks, and about 250 people were taken hostage. The situation remains serious, and many countries are calling for peace and a ceasefire to stop further loss of life.
