Baby dies of hypothermia, as Israeli attacks across Gaza surge
Nine-month-old Kinan Ahmed Raqiq died of hypothermia in a tent in southern Gaza as temperatures fell and heavy rain flooded shelters. His death highlights the dangers facing displaced people, many of whom are living in tents amid restrictions on aid entering the territory.
Israeli attacks also increased across Gaza on Thursday, with health officials reporting 11 people killed since dawn; further attacks were reported on Friday. The previous day, two Israeli drones struck Nasser Hospital’s surgical department, killing six people and injuring about 30, and surgical services have since been suspended. Since the ceasefire took effect in October, at least 1,614 Palestinians have been killed and 5,849 wounded, according to the article.
