Evening recap: Israel bombs Jabalia refugee camp, Bolivia cuts ties with Israel, Gaza hospitals hours away from closing down

Good evening Middle East Eye readers. 

Today marks the 25th day of war, which started on 7 October. 

Israel’s bombing of Gaza’s Jabalia refugee camp has sent shockwaves around the West Bank, sparking protests in Ramallah and Hebron, as well as triggering protests in Jordan. A vigil was also held in London to call for a ceasefire and mourn those killed.

The bombing of the residential camp has reduced many homes to rubble, while large craters have replaced where residential towers stood. The al-Shati and Nuseirat camps were also bombed today, with the full scale of destruction and number of people killed yet to be announced. 

In response to the bombing, a "day of rage" has been called in the occupied West Bank on Wednesday. 

Since the start of the war, over 30,000 Palestinians have been announced as killed, wounded, or missing. 

Here are some of the main developments from today.
