CNN — A newborn baby died from the cold in a tent encampment in Al-Mawasi, in southern Gaza, a health official said Wednesday, highlighting the stark challenges to survival faced by Palestinian children displaced from their homes amid Israel’s ongoing assault on the strip.
Sela Mahmoud Al-Fasih “froze to death from the extreme cold” in Al-Mawasi, Dr. Munir Al-Bursh, the director general of the Ministry of Health in Gaza, posted on X on Wednesday.
In the past week, at least four infants have died of hypothermia from low temperatures and a lack of access to warmth while living in tents, Dr. Ahmed Al-Farra, the head of pediatrics and obstetrics at Nasser Hospital, in Khan Younis, said on Thursday. Among them were a three-day-old and a one-month-old who also died in Al-Mawasi, he said.
And Israel bombed Kamal Adwan Hospital again last night, murdering five of the hospital workers there.

Please note that Egypt is 100% complicit in Israel’s genocide. They could have let many of these people out before Israel got to the Egyptian border and they didn’t. They knew what would happen… but then they’ve never allowed the Palestinians who have lived there for decades to have citizenship.
I really think we need to start pointing fingers at who has been helping Israel in this beyond the U.S. and Europe.
Nobody mentioned Egypt but they are responsible because they would not partake in Israel’s ethnic cleansing campaign? That is a wild take.
I didn’t say they were responsible. They are complicit, not responsible, because they refused to open the border and let people flee and now there are babies dying from hypothermia in Gaza.
So in this case, maybe they should be mentioned since, again, this is due in part to their giving Israel free reign to slaughter. These babies could have lived if Israel did not start their genocide, but there’s also a smaller possibility they could have lived if Egypt hadn’t refused to let any Palestinians out, even after the slaughter began.
Egypt could have let every pregnant woman and child out of Gaza and they refused.
Babies are dying from Hypothermia because Israel is murdering them.
Egypt is in no way responsible for any of Israel’s crimes. In fact it is good they kept their border closed instead of rewarding Israel’s terrorism and genocide with free Gazan land by expelling all the Palestinians from it.
Why do you keep claiming I am saying “responsible” when I am saying “complicit?”
In fact it is good they kept their border closed instead of rewarding Israel’s terrorism and genocide with free Gazan land by expelling all the Palestinians from it.
What the fuck… It’s good they didn’t let pregnant women and children through their border and allowed Israel to slaughter them?
The goal of Israel’s genocide is to expell Palestinians and steal their land. This terrorism is how Israel was founded and is how it has always expanded
Not abetting in the ethnic cleansing is the opposite of complicity.
There are many other flaws in your argument. You speak like men have no value and only women and children should be saved. We would be hearing stories about the 100% terrorist kill count if only men were left.
Finally, this is not the 1800s. We have boats. Israel was begging many countries to help their ethnic cleansing. Every country could have abetted in the ethnic cleansing if they wished for it. Egypt bordering Palestine is of little relevance in the modern age. It only makes for a convenient narrative.
You keep lying about what I say in order to argue with me and I don’t understand why.
There are no lies. Gaza has hospitals to treat patients. Israel bombed them. This is not the responsibility of Egypt. Medical personnel and medical equipment is waiting right at the border of Gaza, all blocked by Israel.
What you are arguing for is because Israel commits acts of terrorism it becomes Egypts responsibility to save those victims. In the short term this would be good. But it does not solve the issue. In a few years Israel would invade Egypt and ethnically cleanse more.
Only by forcing Israel’s hand have Americans finally woken up to what Israel truly is. Israel will kill pregnant women and children to steal their land.
These kids did not die from lack of hospital but lack of house. Stop blaming parties which did not partake in the genocide. The head responsible parties are Israel, America, UK and Germany.
This luckily did not happen. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/2/16/satellite-photos-show-egypt-building-gaza-buffer-zone-as-rafah-push-looms
