Medical sources reported that a 38-year-old Palestinian man was killed when he was targeted by an Israeli drone in the Bani Suheila area of Khan Yunis city in the southern Gaza Strip, where the occupation forces dropped a bomb in the vicinity of his location.
Another Palestinian (26 years old) was also killed by Israeli occupation forces east of Gaza City near the railway junction in the Zeitoun neighborhood, according to medical sources and eyewitnesses.
In the same context, a number of Palestinians were injured as a result of an Israeli air raid near the entrance to the Maghazi camp in the central Gaza Strip, while the occupation army launched air raids and artillery shelling at dawn on the eastern areas of Gaza City, in addition to a raid in the northern Gaza Strip, and gunfire from helicopters and military vehicles in Jabalia and Rafah, areas from which the occupation army withdrew under the ceasefire agreement.
A Palestinian infant also died as a result of the severe cold that is hitting the Gaza Strip, amid tragic conditions in which displaced people are living inside dilapidated tents lacking heating.
The father of the one-week-old infant said that his son died after suffering a severe drop in his body temperature as a result of the stormy winds and rain accompanying the low-pressure system, at a time when the ambulance could not reach him.
Civil Defense spokesman in Gaza, Mahmoud Basal, confirmed that the current weather depression caused damage and the blowing away of thousands of tents belonging to displaced people, especially in coastal areas.
He stressed that what is happening "is not a weather crisis, but a direct result of the occupation preventing the entry of building materials and obstructing reconstruction." He added that thousands of dilapidated homes pose a real danger to the lives of residents as the rain and wind continue.
He stated that every new weather depression that hits the sector turns into a "real humanitarian disaster" under the Israeli siege, stressing that "citizens are living in catastrophic conditions inside torn tents and cracked houses, without the slightest elements of safety or human dignity."
Since the ceasefire agreement came into effect, Israel has continued to renege on its commitments, including allowing the entry of shelter materials, tents, mobile homes and building materials, which has exacerbated the humanitarian catastrophe in the sector, which has suffered destruction affecting about 90% of its infrastructure, following a two-year war of extermination that left more than 71,000 martyrs and 171,000 wounded.
