A two-month-old baby girl named Sham has died from hypothermia in Gaza, her uncle revealed that she was found frozen to death in a flimsy tent. The incident occurred during a severe cold snap in the region.
The blockade imposed by Israel is a major challenge for health officials in addressing this crisis. Key supplies such as temporary shelters, fuel, and warm clothing are not allowed to enter Gaza due to restrictions.
This has left newborns vulnerable to hypothermia, resulting in tragic cases like Sham’s death. The situation highlights the devastating impact of the blockade on the lives of civilians in Gaza.
