Bassam Omar Shaheen, 37, stands outside his home in Gaza City's Al-Saftawi neighbourhood in the northern Gaza Strip on December 23, 2025. Omar was injured in an attack on a school on November 3, 2023 in the Al-Saftawi neighbourhood in the northern Gaza Strip, in which his father and mother were killed, and his leg was amputated as a result. He has been waiting for two years to travel to complete treatment for his hand, which requires surgery due to damage to his fingers and palm. The war was sparked by Hamas's October 7, 2023 attack on Israel, which resulted in the deaths of 1,221 people. Israel's retaliatory assault on Gaza has killed over 70,000 people, according to figures from the health ministry that the UN considers reliable. (Photo by Bashar Taleb / AFP)

A stray dog is standing near damaged panels from the containment vessel following a drone attack on February 14, 2025, on the New Safe Confinement (NSC) which contains radiation from the remains of reactor 4 of the former Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, in Chernobyl, on December 22, 2025, amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant director said on December 23, 2025, fully restoring the internal radiation shelter could take three to four years, after a hit earlier this year punched a hole in the outer radiation shell, triggering a warning from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) that it had "lost its primary safety functions." And warned that another Russian hit could see the inner shell collapse. (Photo by Tetiana DZHAFAROVA / AFP)
