Gaza, January 20 (QNA)  A seven-month-old infant girl died Tuesday due to the extreme cold in Gaza City, medical sources told Palestinian news agency (WAFA).

With this death, the toll of children who have died in the Gaza Strip due to extreme cold since the beginning of winter rises to nine, amidst a shortage of aid and a lack of heating.

The sources also highlighted that the incident reflects the severity of the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip, particularly for children and displaced families living in fragile tents unfit to withstand cold weather.

 Residents of Gaza face a lack of shelter and medical care, as well as insufficient heating due to fuel shortages, amid stormy, cold, and rainy weather conditions. (QNA)
