"Palestinians in the Gaza Strip are experiencing respiratory infections, skin diseases, and other health problems, a humanitarian group warned, as Israel maintains strict curbs on crucial shelter supplies despite freezing winter temperatures. Doctors Without Borders, known by its French acronym MSF, said on Wednesday that babies are suffering from severe cold as displaced Palestinian families live in makeshift shelters across the bombarded enclave."
"All the while Israel continues to block or delay the entry of vital supplies like tents, tarpaulins, and temporary housing. Israel has blocked humanitarian aid from reaching Gaza during its genocidal war against Palestinians, spurring widespread starvation. Legal experts have noted this violates Israel's obligation, as the occupying power in the Gaza Strip, to provide for the needs of Palestinians in the territory under its control."
Babies in Gaza are suffering severe cold as displaced families live in makeshift shelters across the bombarded enclave. People are facing torrential rain and heavy winds while sheltering without adequate tents, tarpaulins, or temporary housing. Respiratory infections, skin diseases, and other health problems have increased amid freezing winter temperatures. Israel continues to block or delay the entry of vital shelter supplies and has blocked broader humanitarian aid, contributing to widespread starvation. Legal experts state that withholding aid violates Israel’s obligations as the occupying power and contravenes a United States-brokered ceasefire requirement to allow 600 aid trucks daily. Israel revoked the operating licences of 37 aid groups, including MSF and the Norwegian Refugee Council.
