A child died on Sunday morning as a result of low temperatures in Al-Anan camp in the Al-Katiba area west of Gaza City, amid the harsh living conditions displaced people face with the arrival of winter.
With the child's death, the number of children who have died from severe cold in the Gaza Strip since last winter has risen to 12.
The conditions of displaced people are witnessing growing deterioration as the cold intensifies and rain falls, amid the continuing humanitarian crisis and the destruction of homes and infrastructure, leaving thousands of families with the option of living in dilapidated tents that lack the means of protection from rain, wind and low temperatures.
