In Gaza, a two-week-old Palestinian infant died from hypothermia due to extreme cold, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health. The death occurred amidst harsh winter conditions and restricted entry of shelter supplies, including tents and blankets, into the Gaza Strip. Al Jazeera reports that Israel's two-year war has destroyed much of Gaza, leaving hundreds of thousands displaced and living in inadequate shelters. A recent storm exacerbated the situation, causing flooding and building collapses. Humanitarian groups are urging Israel to allow unimpeded aid deliveries to Gaza, as families struggle with lack of heating, electricity, and sufficient clothing.
