At least six newborn babies have died in Gaza due to severe cold, according to Dr. Saeed Saleh, a health official at the Patient’s Friends Benevolent Society Hospital (PFBS) in the enclave. Saleh said in a recorded video on Tuesday that in the past two weeks, eight newborns were admitted with severe cold-related injuries, six of whom later died. The hospital highlighted the dire living conditions facing Palestinians, who are currently residing in tents and bombed-out homes, with no protection from the freezing temperatures currently sweeping across the Middle East.
