The number of infant deaths due to the ongoing cold wave in the Gaza Strip has risen to six, Palestinian medical sources reported.
Munir Al-Bursh, director-general of the Gaza-based health authorities, said in a press statement that “the number of children who have died due to the severe cold has risen to six”, noting that the total number of child deaths due to low temperatures since the beginning of winter has reached 15.
He warned of a worsening health crisis, as the destruction of medical infrastructure continues to hinder healthcare services in the region
