Gaza's Christians could not celebrate or experience any joy on Christmas for the second consecutive year as Israel continues its brutal war in the enclave. Christians, like other people in the Gaza Strip, are also deprived of access to basic necessities.

For a second straight year, the war raging in Gaza has kept pilgrims and tourists away from Bethlehem in the occupied West Bank, where Christmas tourism makes up about 70% of the city's economy. Imtiaz Tyab has more.

Faith leaders and residents in Bethlehem are grappling with how to mark the festive holiday while fellow Palestinians continue to be killed.
