Palestinian infant dies of cold as Israel continues to block aid to Gaza

A Palestinian baby has died from exposure to extreme cold in Gaza, bringing the number of children who have died from cold-related causes this winter to nine, according to a medical source. Seven-month-old Shatha Abu Jarad, from Gaza City’s al Daraj neighbourhood, died on Tuesday after her heart stopped due to the severe cold, the source told Anadolu. Her death comes as Gaza’s displaced population continues to endure dire humanitarian conditions.
