At least seven Palestinians, including six infants, have died from hypothermia in Gaza as the region experiences plummeting temperatures.
The situation is exacerbated by ongoing conflict, limiting access to food, medical care, and winter aid for a vulnerable population of nearly 2.3 million.
Infants are particularly at risk, as their bodies lose heat more rapidly than adults, compounded by issues of malnutrition.
The conditions highlight the definition and dangers of hypothermia, which occurs when the body loses heat faster than it can produce it, especially in adverse weather conditions.
As Gaza continues to face harsh winter weather alongside infrastructural challenges, urgent humanitarian relief is needed to prevent further deaths.
