A nine-month-old Palestinian baby dies of hypothermia in southern Gaza after cold overnight temperatures and flooding affect families living in displacement tents. In Khan Yunis, the child’s father says the death occurred during the night in their tent, while a doctor describes hypothermia inside the family’s tent.
The reports place the incident amid harsh weather in Gaza, with heavy rain and flooding displacing thousands who remain exposed in tents. One outlet also highlights Israeli restrictions on aid as part of the conditions surrounding the baby’s death, while others focus more directly on the weather, displacement, and exposure to cold.
Across the coverage, outlets rely on family accounts and medical confirmation, with references to medical personnel and civil defence in the Gaza area. Despite differences in emphasis, all accounts link the death to hypothermia occurring in a tent during the period of cold and flooding in southern Gaza.
