At least six infants have died from hypothermia over the past two weeks in makeshift camps without adequate shelter as winter intensified in Gaza, Palestinian authorities said. Dr Saeed Salah, a Gaza hospital director, said the cold weather wave has largely affected infants aged one month or younger. Gaza experiences cold, wet winters, with temperatures dropping below 10°C at night.
