"Reporting from Gaza City, Al Jazeera's Tareq Abu Azzoum noted that the child's death comes as basic protections in Gaza have been systematically dismantled due to Israel's genocidal war against Palestinians in the territory. Families are living in tents on wet ground without heating, electricity or sufficient clothing, Abu Azzoum said. When food, fuel, shelter and aid are banned, cold absolutely becomes lethal."
"Israel's two-year war has decimated more than 80 percent of the structures across Gaza, forcing hundreds of thousands of families to take refuge in flimsy tents or overcrowded makeshift shelters. A huge storm that recently hit the Strip killed at least 11 people as torrential rains and fierce winds flooded tents and caused damaged buildings to collapse."
