Since November 2025, four Palestinian babies have died in Gaza due to the cold, the latest being two-month-old Mohammed Abu Harbid who died from hypothermia at al-Rantisi Children’s Hospital. This brings the total to twelve since the start of the war in October 2023. Thousands of displaced families are facing a humanitarian crisis due to torrential rain and freezing winds. A newly opened neonatal ward at al-Awda Hospital is struggling to care for premature babies due to a scarcity of medical equipment, chronic power outages, and restrictions on incubator batteries. The lack of medication and baby formula is also contributing to the crisis, with more premature births occurring due to mothers' poor health.
