An eight-month-old Palestinian infant, Rahaf Abu Jazar, died from extreme cold in Khan Younis, Gaza, amid worsening winter conditions for displaced families following a prolonged Israeli assault. Health officials warned of increasing risks for children and the elderly as rain-soaked tents foster pneumonia and respiratory issues. Over 250,000 families face dire conditions with flooding and inadequate shelter, exacerbated by heavy rains linked to a winter storm. Gaza requires approximately 300,000 tents for its displaced population, with reconstruction costs estimated at $70 billion.
