At least 21 displaced Palestinians, mainly children, have died from extreme cold in Gaza’s displacement camps since the onset of Israel’s war, according to local authorities. The fatalities, including 18 children, are attributed to inadequate shelter and severe winter conditions exacerbated by the destruction of homes and the ongoing blockade. A recent storm has further damaged displacement tents and infrastructure, raising concerns for vulnerable populations. The government media office has called for urgent international assistance to provide heating supplies and safe shelter to prevent additional casualties.
