Doctors Without Borders (MSF) is urging Israel to allow more aid into Gaza, where at least 13 people, including babies, have died due to winter weather and inadequate shelter. As of December 20, 2025, the Gaza Ministry of Health reported deaths from hypothermia, with MSF citing the death of a 29-day-old premature baby in Khan Younis. Medical professionals report that babies are arriving at hospitals with severe hypothermia and near-death vital signs, while respiratory infections are also on the rise. MSF emphasizes that hundreds of thousands of Palestinians are struggling in flooded tents and calls for a massive increase in aid to the Gaza Strip.
