Civil Defense crews recovered the bodies of a mother and her child, with several others injured, after a fire engulfed a displacement tent in Gaza City’s Yarmouk area. In a separate incident, the extreme cold claimed the life of a child, Malak Rami Ghneim, in the Nuseirat refugee camp. Hundreds of tents were flooded by heavy rains, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis.
