GAZA CITY (Dispatches) -- A 
Palestinian was killed and two others wounded in an Israeli drone strike on a tent sheltering displaced civilians in southern Gaza on Sunday, while a nine-month-old baby died of hypothermia.
The strike targeted the al-Mawasi area of Khan Younis, according to medical sources at Nasser Medical Complex. 
In northern Gaza, Israeli drones dropped explosive devices on homes and tents in al-Salatin, west of Beit Lahia, while artillery shelling persisted in the northwestern part of the territory. 
Israeli occupation forces also opened heavy fire and conducted intense artillery shelling in eastern Gaza City, simultaneously carrying out demolition operations on remaining buildings and homes.
The attack came as Gaza’s Health Ministry reported that Israeli violations since the ceasefire took effect on October 10, 2025 have killed 1,643 Palestinians and wounded 5,964 others. 
The cumulative death toll since October 2023 has reached 74,695, with 176,093 wounded. Sixteen bodies and 68 wounded people were brought to hospitals over the preceding 48 hours.
Sunday’s violence unfolded against a backdrop of a deepening humanitarian catastrophe driven by Israeli restrictions on shelter materials and winter supplies. 
The Health Ministry confirmed this week that a nine-month-old infant, Kinan Ahmed Raqiq, died of hypothermia in his family’s displacement tent in Khan Younis—the eleventh cold-related death in Gaza this winter. 
His father, Ahmed Raqiq, told AFP he woke to find his son’s skin “turned blue” and rushed him to Nasser Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
The United Nations has said Israeli restrictions on humanitarian aid and on access to safer areas worsened the deadly impact of recent winter storms, warning that much of the suffering could have been prevented. 
More than 150,000 tents purchased by humanitarian partners and member states are waiting outside Gaza for delivery, most stored in Al Arish, Egypt, approximately 50 kilometers from Khan Younis. 
The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs estimated that as of November 9, more than 46,000 households—about 226,000 people—may have been affected by heavy rain, with over 40,000 shelters damaged, including more than 9,000 destroyed beyond repair.
UNICEF reported that three children and their mother were killed in early November when a sand dune collapsed onto their tent in Deir al-Balah after heavy rainfall. 
An estimated 950,000 displaced people live in flood-exposed areas, including 400,000 children in locations at extremely high risk.
