According to the Gaza Health Ministry's head, Munir al-Bursh, the three newborns succumbed to the "extreme cold" while being sheltered in tents at Al-Mawasi, highlighting the dire humanitarian crisis resulting from blocked aid. Over the past two days, complaints have surged regarding the Israeli blockade preventing cold weather supplies from entering Gaza, exacerbating the suffering of the vulnerable population, particularly newborns who are especially susceptible to the extreme weather conditions.
The tragedy is compounded by the fact that 90 percent of Gaza's population has been forcibly displaced due to ongoing military actions. With homes and shelters destroyed, families find themselves in desperate situations without adequate protection from cold weather elements. Nariman Al-Faseeh, mother of one of the deceased newborns, lamented about not having extra clothes to keep her child warm, emphasizing the critical lack of resources available for those affected by the humanitarian crisis.
