‘This must stop,’ UNRWA says as children die from Gaza cold
Health authorities in Gaza say at least two infants have died from exposure. As we’ve been reporting, that included the death of two-week-old Mohammed Khalil Abu al-Khair announced today.
Officials said Israeli restrictions on aid deliveries have made preparing for the rain and cold of winter impossible.
“People have reportedly died due to the collapse of damaged buildings where families were sheltering. Children have reportedly died from exposure to the cold,” UNRWA said in its latest statement.
“This must stop,” it added. “Aid must be allowed in at scale, now.”
