VOI Today: New Year's Celebration In Conflict Countries, No Fireworks, Directly Hit By Missiles

JAKARTA - Residents living in conflict countries such as Palestine and Ukraine cannot celebrate the new year in a sense of security and peace. The sound of fireworks and trumpets was replaced by the sound of missile explosions. In Palestine, on January 1, 2024, the refugee camp Al-Bureij and the city of Jabalia in Gaza were attacked by Israeli soldiers by airstrikes. Meanwhile, the Russian military also launched airstrikes on Ukraine ahead of New Year's Eve 2025.
