The New Dark Age

Sunday, 5 January 2025 — Al Mayadeen English

An eighth baby, Ali Youssef Ahmed Kloub, has tragically died from hypothermia in the Gaza Strip, where the Israeli occupation continues its large-scale campaign of extermination and ethnic cleansing against Palestinians. The infant lived in a tent on a beach, enduring freezing conditions that have claimed the lives of several children this winter.

In a heart-wrenching video shared by a Palestinian journalist on social media, the grieving mother, overcome with tears, described finding her child frozen, saying, “It was as if he had been placed in a freezer.”

In a previous press release, Gaza’s Media Office emphasized the dire situation facing forcibly displaced families, whose homes were destroyed by Israeli airstrikes, leaving them vulnerable to the freezing winter conditions.
