Children Die of Hypothermia in Gaza Cold Snap
ai generated text
Severe cold weather has caused hypothermia-related deaths among Palestinian infants in Gaza, with at least six reported fatalities. A hospital in Gaza City has appealed for urgent delivery of caravans and fuel to improve conditions for the approximately 945,000 displaced Palestinians living in tents and makeshift shelters.
Based on the data available to us, hundreds of thousands of tents have entered the Gaza Strip since the agreement came into effect.
We see the current flashpoints of violence, attacks on healthcare … starkly rising in the West Bank.
The number which is scarred on my mind right now is the number I heard this morning from a colleague: the number three — three children who died overnight in Gaza from cold. Three children who froze to death.
If adequate aid, including shelter supplies, were allowed to reach civilians and hospitals, these deaths would be entirely preventable. This suffering is the direct result of Israel's restrictions on essential humanitarian aid.
Newborns should not be dying of hypothermia in Gaza. This is not a tragedy of nature but a man-made crisis.
After a medical examination, it was determined that the cause of death was a severe drop in body temperature that led to death.
