GAZA, (Palestine Foundation Information Center), A two-month-old baby boy died in the Gaza Strip on Saturday as a result of prolonged exposure to low temperatures.
Gaza’s health ministry said that two-month-old Mohamed Abu Harbid died from hypothermia, amid deteriorating humanitarian conditions resulting from the Israeli ban on the entry of critical shelter materials and relief aid to Gaza.
On Saturday morning, a seven‑day‑old infant also died from severe cold inside a tattered tent.
Despite the ceasefire agreement reached on October 10, 2025, the humanitarian crisis in the Strip has shown no tangible improvement as the Israeli occupation regime continues to evade its obligations. The situation has worsened further during the successive winter storms that hit Gaza.
In a related context, UNRWA said that children in the Gaza Strip continue to live in dire conditions, amid ongoing Israeli restrictions on the entry of humanitarian needs.
“Children in Gaza are still living in dire conditions. They should be warm, well-nourished and feel safe enough to look towards their future,” UNRWA said in social media remarks on Saturday.
“They urgently need the humanitarian aid that is stuck outside Gaza. UNRWA and other aid organizations are still working and ready to scale up. Restrictions on aid must be lifted, now,” UNRWA added.
