Gaza Strip - December 30, 2024 As the world ushered in 2025, Gazan resident Abu Yousef Barghout expressed a desperate wish for peace in the new year, not only for his war-torn homeland but for the entire world. The Palestinian-Israeli conflict, which persisted throughout 2024, has left the Gaza Strip in the grip of an unprecedented humanitarian crisis. The ongoing Israeli attacks in the Palestinian enclave has claimed 45,581 Palestinian lives and 108,438 others have been injured, the Gaza-based health authorities said in a statement on Thursday. For Palestinians, 2024 ended without even a brief moment of respite. Gazan residents like Abu Yousef Barghout said that they are exhausted by the relentless cycle of destruction and death, clinging to hopes that the new year will bring everlasting peace not only to Gaza but the world. Barghout's New Year wish reflects the collective yearning of Gaza's residents for a future free from war, and a future where peace can replace the suffering that has defined their lives for far too long.
