Winter cold ‘becomes lethal’ as Israel restricts entry of tents, blankets and other shelter supplies to ravaged enclave.
A two-week-old Palestinian infant died from hypothermia in Gaza amid severe winter conditions exacerbated by Israel’s restrictions on humanitarian aid. Local reports indicate that families are living in inadequate shelters, with basic necessities like food and heating unavailable. Humanitarian organizations are urging Israel to allow aid deliveries, as the situation worsens with ongoing violence, including recent Israeli attacks that have killed hundreds since the October ceasefire. Hamas has accused Israel of violating the ceasefire agreement while claiming to adhere to its terms.
