A ceasefire in Israel's ongoing conflict with Gaza enters its fourth day as the situation in the occupied West Bank worsens. Humanitarian aid continues to flow into Gaza, but the destruction left by the war is devastating, with many residents returning to find their homes and businesses razed. Meanwhile, a stabbing attack in Tel Aviv leaves four wounded and the attacker dead.
A truce in Israel's war on besieged Gaza, which has reportedly killed at least 47,107 Palestinians, entered its fourth day on January 21, 2025, as Tel Aviv escalated its violence in the occupied West Bank. Nearly 900 more humanitarian aid trucks entered Gaza, as a senior UN official said there had been no apparent law-and-order issues.
Throughout the 15-month Israeli war, the UN has described its humanitarian operation as opportunistic, facing problems with Israel's military invasion, access restrictions by Israel into and throughout Gaza, and more recently, looting by armed gangs. Muhannad Hadi, the top UN aid official for Gaza and the occupied West Bank, said there had been minor incidents of looting in the past three days, but 'not like before.' 'It's not organised crime. Kids jumped on some trucks trying to take food baskets. There were some other people (who) tried to take some bottled water,' he told reporters. 'Hopefully within few days this will all disappear once the people of Gaza realize that we will have aid enough for everybody.'Many Palestinians from the southern Gaza city of Rafah returned to the area only to be shocked to find nothing left of their homes and businesses. Manal Selim, a single mother of six, worked as a hairdresser and owned a shop that rented wedding and evening dresses. Her family lived upstairs. 'We thought we’d find some place to live in or stay,' she said. 'The destruction is scary. It's like an apocalypse.' 'This is my house. I built it brick by brick for 25 years,' she said. 'We retrieved 120 decomposed bodies over the past two days. They’re completely decomposed with only skeletal remains,' Civil Defense member Haitham Hams told The Associated Press. AP footage showed members sifting through piles of debris and in one case, unearthing a person's thigh bone, a ripped shirt and a pair of pants. A body bag inside an ambulance was labeled'unknown' and the discovery date late on Tuesday. Four people have been wounded in a stabbing attack in central Tel Aviv, according to Israeli police, who said the attacker was killed by Israeli soldiers at the scene. Two people were in moderate condition and two had light wounds, according to Magen David Adom, Israel's emergency rescue service. Ichilov Hospital said one person was in moderate-severe condition with a stab wound to the neck.
