A seven-day-old infant has succumbed to the extreme cold in Gaza, highlighting the dire humanitarian crisis faced by Palestinians under Israel's blockade. The Gaza Strip is grappling with plummeting temperatures at night, reaching as low as nine degrees Celsius, while Palestinian residents in makeshift tents are exposed to harsh winds and rain.
The Israeli occupation has exacerbated the situation by limiting the entry of vital necessities such as mobile homes, tools, and materials for repairing damaged tents. As a result, thousands of tents have been destroyed, leaving families without shelter or dignity.
According to Gaza's Civil Defence, every low-pressure system is a "humanitarian disaster" due to the lack of building materials and disrupted reconstruction efforts. The organization has warned of a potential catastrophe, citing damage to temporary shelters and the need for citizens to secure their tents to prevent them from being blown away.
Palestinians are facing an impossible situation, with many forced to set up their tents on the beach due to a lack of available space inside cities, which were extensively destroyed by Israeli forces. The families without homes are trapped in a cycle of displacement, struggling to access basic necessities and rebuild their lives.
The humanitarian crisis in Gaza has been worsened by Israel's restrictions on humanitarian aid delivery, leaving millions facing an uncertain future. Nearly 80 percent of buildings in the enclave have been destroyed or damaged by Israel during its ongoing war against Palestinians.
On Saturday alone, Israeli troops demolished residential buildings, while three Palestinians were killed and seven injured in attacks across Gaza. The situation remains dire, with the Palestinian population facing unimaginable hardships under Israel's blockade and military aggression.

i feel 4 the gaza fam u gotta do smthn 2 help these innocent people 
... I mean, a 7-day-old infant can't even survive the cold in Gaza? It's just not right 
. The Israeli occupation is really screwing up things over there. Like, come on, how hard is it to let some essential supplies pass through?! Mobile homes, tools, and tents are all being held back, leaving families with nowhere to go 
.
. I don't know how much more this can take. Those Palestinian families deserve so much better than living in shelters on the beach 
. It's like, basic human rights, you know?! 
... it's like we're right back to '98 when all this started. The thought of a 7-day-old baby freezing to death in Gaza is just heartbreaking 
. I mean, can't we learn from the past? It feels like history is repeating itself. Those of us who grew up during the intifada remember the struggle, but it's not something that just goes away... I wish people would start taking notice and do something about it 
. It's not just about the Gazans; it's about human decency and compassion. We need to step in and help these families before more lives are lost 
. We cant just sit back & watch as innocent lives are lost 
they're making things worse and worse. the fact that there aren't even materials for tents anymore is insane! what kind of world are we living in where innocent people can't even get a decent roof over their heads?
