Gaza 'dying slowly' amid collapsing buildings and severe cold

At least 31 Palestinians have died in Gaza from harsh winter conditions, with recent deaths including a one-year-old from exposure and others from collapsing buildings. The crisis is exacerbated by the destruction of infrastructure from over two years of Israeli bombardment, which has left more than 1.5 million displaced people vulnerable. Despite a ceasefire, Israel is accused of continuing demolitions and restricting the entry of essential aid, including shelter and construction materials. Health officials are also warning of the spread of respiratory viruses, hypothermia, and rising malnutrition among the displaced population.
