Infants in Gaza Die from Hypothermia During Severe Cold Snap

At least three babies have died in Gaza as displaced families struggle in inadequate shelters following prolonged conflict.

A clinic in Gaza reported the deaths of at least three infants from hypothermia during an ongoing cold wave in the region.
Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians remain displaced after 15 months of conflict between Israel and Hamas, living in makeshift tents that offer little protection from harsh weather.
Health officials warn that infants are particularly vulnerable to cold temperatures as they cannot regulate their body heat effectively.
Israel has stated that reconstruction efforts in Gaza cannot begin until all Israeli hostages are released and Hamas no longer governs the area.
The current ceasefire in Gaza, in place for over a month, has provided little relief for those grappling with the destruction and humanitarian challenges.
