A three-month-old Palestinian baby, Shaza Abu Jarad, died from hypothermia in a tent in Gaza City on Tuesday. The family, displaced after their home was destroyed in the war, found the infant unresponsive in their makeshift shelter in the Daraj neighborhood. The Gaza Health Ministry confirmed the cause of death as hypothermia. The tragedy highlights the severe humanitarian conditions in Gaza, where hundreds of thousands live in tents and damaged buildings, exposed to cold and wet winter weather, as temperatures drop below 10 degrees Celsius. The death occurred as world leaders gathered in Davos, Switzerland, where discussions included a Gaza ceasefire plan.
