New Year's Eve celebrations took place around the world, with people marking the start of 2024 in various ways. In Kenya, fireworks lit up the skies as people gathered to celebrate. In Gaza and Ukraine, however, the celebrations were overshadowed by ongoing wars and conflicts. London also had a vibrant fireworks display, watched by millions both in person and online. Many countries in Asia, including China and Japan, also had fireworks, parades, and parties to ring in the new year.

Russia celebrated the new year with fireworks in Moscow's Red Square. In the Middle East and Europe, where wars were taking place, the celebrations were subdued and overshadowed by the ongoing conflicts. Countries such as Australia, France, and the United States also had their own New Year's Eve celebrations.

Despite the festivities, the shadow of wars and conflicts loomed over the celebrations, with tensions and violence continuing in various parts of the world. The war in the Middle East and conflicts in Gaza and Ukraine affected the mood of the celebrations, as people reflected on the global challenges and uncertainties of the coming year.

Sydney, Australia, had a spectacular fireworks display over Sydney Harbour Bridge, attracting thousands of spectators. Similarly, Auckland, New Zealand, welcomed the new year with fireworks and celebrations.

Overall, while people around the world celebrated the arrival of 2024 with fireworks and parties, the backdrop of global conflicts and tensions served as a reminder of the challenges and uncertainties that lay ahead.
