A Palestinian infant died from hypothermia in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, underscoring the worsening humanitarian crisis as world leaders gathered at a Swiss resort with U.S. President Donald Trump’s Gaza cease-fire plan high on the agenda.
Three-month-old Shaza Abu Jarad was found dead early Tuesday in her family’s tent in Gaza City’s Daraj neighborhood.
“She was freezing, and she was dead,” her father, Mohamed Abu Jarad, told The Associated Press (AP) by phone after her burial. “She died from the cold.”
Abu Jarad, who worked in Israel before the war, is living with his wife and seven other children in a makeshift tent after their home was destroyed.
The family rushed the baby to Al-Ahli Hospital, where a doctor pronounced her dead from hypothermia, said her uncle, Khalid Abu Jarad.
