Desperate Palestinians in a Gaza neighborhood sift through garbage for plastic items to burn amid cold winters, despite two years of conflict. The bleak scene starkly contrasts with portrayals at the World Economic Forum, where US President Trump's team touts aid efforts in Gaza.

According to Trump, significant humanitarian aid has arrived in Gaza post-ceasefire, a claim made at Davos. However, thousands of displaced Palestinians remain in camps, struggling against the cold amid ongoing deadly strikes and shortages of essential resources.

Despite increased aid, fuel and firewood are scarce and costly, leading to fatal incidents as individuals attempt to gather firewood. In southern Gaza, people mourn the death of three journalists recently killed in Israeli strikes, highlighting the ongoing perilous conditions in the region.
