Nine-month-old baby dies of cold in Gaza
- On Thursday, nine-month-old Kinan Ahmad Raqiq died from hypothermia inside his family's displacement tent in Khan Yunis, a doctor told AFP after days of harsh weather and flooding in the Gaza Strip.
- Heavy rain last week flooded tens of thousands of tents in Gaza, where the UN's Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs reported 26,000 households were affected and around 65 percent of the population remains displaced.
- James Elder, spokesman on Gaza for UNICEF, warned that flooding marks only the beginning of the cold season, stating, "It's very important to know how bad things are in Gaza. It's not yet winter."
- In a Wednesday response to the Board of Peace, Caretaker Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel provided 91,000 tents, asserting, "Hamas alone is responsible for the suffering of the people of Gaza."
- Five people including three children died when a sandy embankment collapsed onto their tents the day after the flooding, compounding the humanitarian crisis across the territory.
