From "Alligator Alcatraz" to Gaza: U.S. Companies Line Up for Lucrative Gaza Contracts Under Trump
At least a dozen people have died in Gaza as winter storms batter displaced Palestinians forced to shelter in makeshift tents among the rubble of collapsing buildings severely damaged by Israeli bombing.
