Gaza babies dying from the cold as winter temperatures drop
26
In Gaza, the cold weather has claimed the lives of six babies in just over a week, as reported by Hamas-controlled health authorities.
With temperatures continuing to drop and hundreds of thousands of displaced Palestinians living in tents, the situation is worsening. The United Nations Children's Agency (UNICEF) has warned that more children's lives are at risk.
Humanitarian efforts are being hindered by Israeli restrictions on aid, with many families suffering from the cold, lack of food, and flooding.
As winter intensifies, families face unbearable conditions in makeshift camps, and many fear further preventable deaths due to the harsh cold.
