Week-Old Baby Dies From Cold in Gaza as Israeli Strikes Reported During Winter Storms

Winter storms are exposing severe shelter shortages tied to limits on shelter supplies.

Overview

  • Medical sources said seven-day-old Mahmoud al-Aqraa died from exposure in Deir el-Balah as nighttime temperatures fell to about 9°C.
  • Gaza Civil Defence warned the latest low-pressure system damaged thousands of tents and turns each storm into a humanitarian disaster because reconstruction materials are barred.
  • Aid groups report only about 60,000 of more than 300,000 requested tents have entered, leaving large numbers of displaced people in thin canvas shelters.
  • Israeli attacks overnight into Sunday were reported in Rafah, Khan Younis and Gaza City, with at least three Palestinians killed and seven wounded, according to medical sources.
  • Medical sources also reported an Israeli quadcopter killed a man being transferred to a hospital in Khan Younis during the latest violence.
