Another Infant Freezes to Death in Gaza as Israel Continues to Violate Oct. 10 Ceasefire
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Gaza, Israeli airstrikes on a town east of Khan Younis have killed
four Palestinian civilians, including a woman, over the past 24 hours.
This follows air and artillery strikes on the cities of Rafah and Khan
Younis, the latest in a series of near-daily ceasefire violations by
Israel's military. Separately, a child in the Nuseirat refugee camp died
after triggering unexploded Israeli ordnance. And Doctors Without
Borders said Thursday a 29-day-old baby died of hypothermia at Nasser
Hospital, the latest Palestinian to freeze to death as Israel prevents
aid convoys from bringing tents and other portable shelters into Gaza.
Nursing team supervisor Bilal Abu Saada said, "Children are losing their
lives because they lack the most basic items for survival. Babies are
arriving to the hospital cold, with near-death vital signs: even our
best efforts are not enough. They say the war has ended, but people are
still having to fight for their lives."
