A nine-month-old infant died of the cold in the Gaza Strip amid the difficult humanitarian conditions faced by displaced people living in tents as winter began. The child’s family showed the death certificate to journalists while carrying his shrouded body.
Meanwhile, three Palestinians were killed and eight others injured in attacks by the Israeli army on Gaza City and Khan Younis despite a ceasefire agreement being in force, according to medical and local sources.
Victims in Gaza and Khan Younis
Sources said Akram Saadi Hassanein, 45, was killed by Israeli soldiers’ gunfire in the eastern Gaza City neighborhood of Tuffah, while a Palestinian woman and her son were injured in attacks on the same area. Ramzi Nabil Abu Taim, 36, was also killed and five others were injured in Israeli shelling targeting southwestern Khan Younis.
Sources added that 20-year-old Iyad Mohammed al-Jazzar died from wounds sustained in yesterday’s Israeli attack on Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, bringing the death toll from that attack to seven. In the Mawasi area, a girl suffered serious neck injuries from gunfire targeting tents for displaced people, while Israeli boats shelled the coast of Gaza City and artillery targeted the area around the Wadi Gaza Bridge.

The image shows tents for displaced people in Gaza flooded by rainwater. Jens Laerke, a spokesperson for the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), had warned that flooding in Gaza would deepen the humanitarian crisis, as large numbers of displaced people live in dilapidated tents that do not protect them from the winter cold.
Türkiye had condemned the Israeli attack on Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis.
