Christmas in Gaza – December 2024 This Christmas, like the last, is marked by sorrow and minimal celebrations for many Gazan Christians. Traditionally a time for family reunions and travel, such gatherings are now impossible due to the ongoing conflict. As the second Christmas under Israeli bombardment approaches, nearly 1,000 Palestinian Christians are sheltering in the Greek Orthodox Church of St. Porphyrius and the Latin Monastery in the center of Gaza City. For over a year—since the beginning of Israel’s assault on the Strip—they have lived in these two churches with little access to food, water, or electricity. Over the past 14 months, both the Greek Orthodox Church of St. Porphyrius and the Latin Monastery have been repeatedly attacked by Israeli forces, despite serving as shelters for displaced Palestinians. These churches have historically opened their doors during previous wars. Since October 7, 2023, Israel has bombed and targeted churches and civilian shelters, killing dozens. In December 2023, Israeli snipers killed two women and injured others in the courtyard of the Latin Monastery. Many Palestinians, including around 300 Christians, have since fled Gaza.

**On December 23**, early in the morning, Israeli Forces launch a large-Scale raid on Al-Fawwar Refugee Camp: Between 70 and 80 Palestinian Civilians were detained at a local club stadium that had been converted into a field interrogation centre. - The Israeli forces had already began a raid in the town on December 22. - According to the Palestinian Prisoners' Club over 100 Palestinians were rounded up and interrogated by Israeli forces. The Palestinian Prisoners' Club stated that two individuals from the group were placed in detention, while the others were released. - This marks the largest operation conducted by the Israeli army in the camp, near the city of Hebron in the occupied West Bank, since October 7. - As of early August, Israeli prisons held 9,900 prisoners, including 3,432 under administrative detention, 250 children, and 86 women, according to Palestinian prisoner rights organizations. Administrative detention refers to an Israeli military imprisonment without charges, lasting six months and renewable indefinitely.
