Six newborns in Gaza, including 20-day-old Sila, have died from hypothermia in two weeks as night temperatures drop to 7°C. Families displaced by the 14-month conflict live in leaking tents with limited aid and food supplies. Sila’s mother, Nariman al-Najmeh, shared the dire conditions, saying, “We huddled to keep warm, but it wasn’t enough.” Hospitals report rising cases of severe hypothermia and premature births due to maternal malnutrition. UNICEF warns of more preventable deaths as the humanitarian crisis worsens. Dr. Ahmad al-Farra emphasized the urgent need for adequate shelter, food, and medical supplies to save lives.
