Rahaf Abu Jazar

Rahaf Abu Jazar was an eight-month-old Palestinian baby who died in December 2025 in a tent camp in Khan Younis, southern Gaza Strip. Her family was displaced due to the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine. Rahaf's death is newsworthy because it highlights the dire humanitarian conditions faced by displaced Palestinians in Gaza, particularly during the harsh winter. Recent reports indicate that Storm Byron exacerbated the situation, causing flooding and further exposing vulnerable populations to the cold. Rahaf's death is one of four reported infant deaths from cold exposure in Gaza since November, attributed to power cuts affecting incubators and the general lack of adequate shelter and supplies. Her death underscores the critical need for increased humanitarian aid and improved living conditions for displaced people in the region, especially considering restrictions on essential winter supplies.
