A three-week-old baby girl has frozen to death in Gaza, while at least 10 people were killed in Israel’s latest airstrikes amid ongoing hostilities.
The escalating conflict, now in its 14th month, sees both Israel and Hamas blaming each other for hindering ceasefire negotiations that could end the violence in the Middle East.
Medical officials reported that the infant was the third child to die from the cold in Gaza’s tent camps within recent days, underscoring the dire humanitarian crisis in the region.
In Gaza City’s Zeitoun neighbourhood, an Israeli airstrike early Thursday targeted a house, killing five people and injuring 20 others. Rescue teams cautioned that the death toll may rise, as many remain trapped under the rubble.
Additionally, five journalists were killed when their vehicle, marked as a media van, was struck near Al-Awda Hospital in Nuseirat, central Gaza, according to health authorities. The journalists who worked for the Al-Quds Al-Youm television channel were covering the ongoing conflict.
The situation highlights the severe impact of the war on civilians and journalists, with the humanitarian crisis worsening amid the cold winter months.
