Gaza's pain is not subsiding, a three-week-old baby girl died due to a cold
A three-week-old girl has died in Gaza. She died because she stayed out in the cold all night. The girl was living in a tent in Gaza in the severe cold. According to doctors, this is the third death among children living in tent camps in Gaza. Such deaths of innocent and small children show the terrible conditions created due to the war in Gaza. Hundreds and thousands of Palestinians there are forced to live in often dilapidated camps to escape Israeli attacks.
More than 45,000 Palestinians have died in Israel's bombing and ground attack on Gaza. More than half of those killed are women and children. According to Gaza's Health Ministry, there is no difference between fighters and civilians in their count. Israel's hopes for a ceasefire appeared complicated, as Israel and the militant Hamas group that rules Gaza accused Israel of delaying the agreement.
In recent weeks, the two sides appeared to be moving toward a deal that would see dozens of people held hostage by militants in Gaza returned, but differences have emerged. Although Israel and Hamas have expressed hope that progress is being made toward a deal, those involved in the talks say differences remain over the exchange of Palestinian prisoners for hostages and the withdrawal of Israeli troops from Gaza.
forced to live in extreme cold
There has been large-scale destruction in Gaza due to attacks by the Palestinian group Hamas. About 90% of the people here have been sent away from their homes. Thousands of people out of Gaza's 2.3 million population are forced to live in tent camps along the coast. Winter has started in these areas. Due to this, aid groups are facing a lot of difficulties in delivering food and many other essential items. According to the local people, they also lack blankets, warm clothes and firewood. Israel has increased the supply of essential goods to Gaza. Due to this, an average of 130 trucks are being delivered every day this month.
Girl child died due to cold
Speaking to the media, Mahmoud al-Fasih wrapped his 3-week-old daughter Sila in a blanket to keep her warm in his tent, but it was not enough to protect her from the cold. He said the tent was not air-sealed and the ground was also very cold. The temperature dropped to 9 degrees Celsius at night.
Hamas accused of reneging on
Hopes of a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas still appear to be quite difficult, as Israel and the militant Hamas group that rules Gaza accuse Israel of delaying the agreement. In recent weeks, the two sides appeared to be moving towards an agreement under which dozens of people held hostage by militants in Gaza were to be brought back, but now differences are emerging again between the two.
However, Israel and Hamas are saying that progress is being made towards an agreement. But those involved in the talks say that there are still differences over the exchange of Palestinian prisoners for hostages and the withdrawal of Israeli troops from Gaza. The Israeli government accused Hamas of reneging on the previously agreed agreement.
