Gaza newborn dies of exposure while heavy rains cause buildings to collapse

A newborn baby has died from hypothermia in Gaza as heavy rains and cold weather batter the besieged territory. The severe weather has caused already damaged buildings to collapse and has flooded displacement camps, destroying tents and makeshift shelters. The UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) warns that people are "freezing to death" due to a critical shortage of winter clothing, blankets, and adequate shelter materials. These conditions are exacerbated by Israel's ongoing restrictions on humanitarian aid and goods entering the enclave, which limits the ability of aid workers to meet the population's needs.
