Displaced Palestinians face winter cold in makeshift camps

Palestinians displaced by over 14 months of conflict in Gaza lit fires in makeshift tents to stay warm in Gaza City. Nora al-Lahham, a mother in a temporary camp, expressed concern for her child’s safety due to the harsh cold.

This week, three babies died from severe temperature drops, according to a pediatric doctor at a southern Gaza hospital. The ongoing war displaced most of Gaza’s 2.4 million residents, many of whom lived in makeshift shelters during the winter.
