A nine-month-old baby died from hypothermia in Khan Yunis, Gaza Strip, as harsh weather displaced thousands, according to Palestinian officials. The child, named Kinan Ahmad Raqiq, succumbed to cold conditions in the area.
An Israeli airstrike hit a hospital in Khan Yunis, killing at least six people, including a surgeon and a 13-year-old boy. The attack targeted one of the main hospitals still operating in the Gaza Strip. At least 20 others were injured, with extensive damage reported. The strike occurred on Thursday.
The hospital, Nasser Medical, was hit in the surgery department, according to a spokesperson. The attack left the facility in ruins, disrupting critical medical services. Earlier in the week, heavy rains caused a sand dune to collapse on tents in Deir al-Balah, displacing thousands and destroying shelters and belongings.
The Israeli military has conducted multiple strikes in Gaza in recent months, targeting infrastructure and military positions. The ongoing conflict has led to widespread destruction and humanitarian crises, with civilians caught in the crossfire.
The situation in Gaza continues to deteriorate, with reports of increasing casualties and displacement. International organizations have called for an immediate ceasefire to prevent further loss of life.
