A 10-month-old Palestinian baby, Kenan al-Raqq, died of exposure inside a tent protecting his displaced family in Khan Yunis, in southern Gaza.
"I woke up and saw that his skin had turned blue, so I rushed him to Nasser Hospital. But he's already dead from hypothermia," the baby's father, Ahmed al-Raqq, said on Thursday.
The baby's grandfather, Rashid al-Raqq, told Anadolu Agency that the family was living in a torn tent, where the rainwater soaked their clothes, blankets and sheets.
According to UN officials, Israel continues to refuse to allow 150,000 tents, generators and rehabilitation equipment to enter besieged Gaza.
"We are ready to bring them as soon as we get the permissions," UN deputy spokesman Farhan Haq said on Wednesday.
