He noted that the shortage of temporary shelters and fuel, combined with a sharp cold snap in the region, turned the winter into "a deadly threat to hundreds of Palestinian families." Despite all the measures taken by parents to keep their children warm, at least 15 newborns and infants died in the enclave due to hypothermia.

According to the TV channel, there is an urgent need for basic necessities, blankets and means for heating homes everywhere in Gaza, and the supply of humanitarian aid and fuel to the region is still limited by the Israeli authorities.

Earlier, information was received about the deaths of six children in hospitals in the cities of Gaza and Khan Yunis. According to the doctors of the hospital of the charitable Society of the patient's Friends (PBS), thousands of refugees in the enclave are unable to heat their shelters, which causes numerous cases of hypothermia, primarily among children. tass.ru.
