      Gaza death toll rises to 47,417 with more bodies recovered from rubble

      The Palestinian death toll in Gaza since October 7, 2023 has risen to 47,417, with 111,571 others injured, Gaza-based health authorities reported in a statement on Wednesday noon.

      Although the first phase of the Gaza ceasefire agreement is being implemented as planned, the death toll in the strip continues to grow.

      In the past 24 hours, two Palestinians were killed in the enclave by the Israeli military despite the ceasefire, while two others succumbed to earlier injuries and 59 bodies were recovered from rubble, according to the health authorities.

      Gaza's Government Media Office said on Wednesday afternoon that more than half a million displaced Palestinians had returned to the northern Gaza Strip via al-Rashid and Salah al-Din streets in the past 72 hours, according to a report from Al Jazeera.

      The report said some returnees have been heading back to the center of the enclave after finding no water, food, shelter or sanitation in the north.

      Since 07:00 on Monday, the Israeli army allowed people in the Gaza Strip to walk back to northern Gaza via the coastal highway, Al-Rashid Street. From 09:00 on the same day, the Israeli army allowed cars and other vehicles to return to northern Gaza via Salah al-Din Street after undergoing security checks.

      Meanwhile, two senior Hamas officials on Wednesday accused Israel of slowing down aid deliveries, including items key to Gaza's recovery such as fuel, tents, heavy machinery and other equipment.

      The Hamas official warned that the delays or failures of aid deliveries will affect prisoner exchanges.

      Israel hit back at the accusation, with a spokesman for COGAT, the Israeli defense ministry body that oversees civil affairs in the Palestinian territories, claiming that "3,000 trucks entered Gaza" between Sunday and 1100 GMT on Wednesday in line with the first phase of the ceasefire agreement which calls for 4,200 trucks a week.

      China unveils top archaeological findings of 2024

      2025-02-20 10:29 Last Updated At:10:37

      The top six archaeological findings across China in 2024 were announced at Wednesday's annual archaeology forum hosted by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.

      The discoveries, covering from the Paleolithic Age to the Yuan (1271-1368), Ming (1368-1644), and Qing Dynasties (1636-1912), shed light on studies on the history and culture of ancient China.

      The earliest of the six, the Dadong Site, is located in Jilin Province in northeast China. Discovered in the strata dating from 28,000 to 24,000 years ago, the site involves an artificial stone circle, which should be the remains of a primary shed of ancient humans, implying the archaeological importance of the Changbai Mountain area in the field of evolutionary anthropology studies.

      The Xiatang Site in east China's Zhejiang Province, a Neolithic Age settlement site, reveals the structure and layout of the ancient village, providing new evidence for the study of the social structure of early-stage agricultural societies.

      At the Siwa Site, another Neolithic Age site in northwest China's Gansu Province, the first prehistory large-scale near square-shaped moat was discovered, which might hint at the origin of the square-walled cities in China.

      The Zhouyuan Site in Shaanxi Province of northwest China shows evidence of China's earliest dynasties, providing written materials for studying the history of Western Zhou Dynasty (about 1046 – 771 BC). With over 200 bone and tortoise shell pieces for divination rites being found, phrases totaling over 180 oracle scripts were recognized, covering documentations of astronomy, calendar, history, and geology.

      At a Warring States period site in east China's Anhui Province, the Wuwangdun Site, researchers excavated over 10,000 pieces of cultural relics, including multiple Ding sets, or special cauldron sets, the representative ritual vessels that have long been used to represent social class and nobility, and symbols of China's traditional rites and ethnicity.

      In east China's Jiangxi Province, the archaeological site of Jingdezhen City, the world-famous town of porcelain with a thousand-year history, welcomed new discoveries. The latest discoveries at the Jingdezhen Site revealed the sources of materials and fuels that supported the large-scale porcelain production, as well as the local traffic net in the Yuan, Ming, and Qing Dynasties, giving people a perception to understand Jingdezhen's development history.

      "These discoveries are not only about gathering ancient relics in the fields, but, more importantly, about their value for academic research. Every single result complements our understanding of Chinese history and culture," said Shi Jinsong, the deputy head of the Institute of Archaeology at the Chinese Academy of Social Science.
