Kiribati and New Zealand became one of the first nations to ring in 2024 as ongoing wars in Ukraine and Gaza cast a pall over celebrations and heightened tensions across parts of the world.

Residents of Auckland welcomed in the New Year with a fireworks display over Sky Tower, New Zealand’s tallest structure, reports Sky News. 

According to difference in international standard time, New Zealand and some Pacific Islands nations get the chance to celebrate New Year among all the nations of the world.
