Gaza’s health ministry said that three-month-old Ali Abu Zour died in Gaza City after prolonged exposure to freezing temperatures.
This brings the total number of cold weather deaths among children this season to 10 victims.
This new child fatality highlights the dangerous humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip, particularly for displaced children and families living in fragile tents that are unfit to withstand the harsh cold and stormy weather.
Displaced families in Gaza are facing nowadays deadly risks from exposure to extreme cold temperatures as they find no adequate shelter materials, heating means, food, blankets, winter clothing, and even proper healthcare.
