"Eight Palestinians have died in war-ravaged Gaza as a new storm has brought freezing temperatures and piled on further misery to displaced tens of thousands surviving in flimsy shelters and strong winds have toppled buildings damaged by Israeli attacks in its genocidal war on the enclave. Israel continues to block desperately needed humanitarian aid and critical supplies for shelter into besieged Gaza in violation of the October 10 ceasefire deal."
"A spokesperson for Gaza's Civil Defence told Al Jazeera on Tuesday that four deaths had been recorded due to cold temperatures caused by a severe depression that has brought torrential rain and freezing winds to the coastal enclave. A source at al-Aqsa Hospital in central Gaza's Deir al-Balah said one of the victims was a one-year-old, who had passed away in their family's tent before being brought to the facility."
A severe storm with torrential rain and freezing winds struck Gaza, killing at least eight people and toppling war-damaged buildings. Civil Defence warned of catastrophic repercussions for a population largely without adequate shelter after widespread destruction from previous Israeli attacks. Four deaths were recorded from cold temperatures linked to the depression, including a one-year-old who died in their family’s tent before arrival at al-Aqsa Hospital. Four additional Palestinians died when weakened buildings collapsed during strong winds, including three in Gaza City and a 15-year-old girl. Israel continues to block humanitarian aid and critical shelter supplies into besieged Gaza, worsening displacement and disease risk.
