Child Dies from Cold in Displaced Persons' Tents in Al-Mawasi, Khan Yunis

Nasser Medical Complex announced on November 12 the death of a Palestinian child caused by the severe cold weather affecting displaced persons' tents in the Al-Mawasi area of southern Gaza.

The tragedy highlights the dire living conditions faced by displaced families, who lack the basic heating equipment necessary to cope with the drop in temperatures.

Medical teams have warned of increasing health risks for children residing in overcrowded shelters and tents, exacerbated by a critical shortage of essential resources and supplies.

Health personnel continue to monitor the impact of adverse weather conditions on the displaced population, as the humanitarian crisis persists amidst a lack of fundamental necessities.
