Children in Gaza are Freezing to Death

TRT World 

As Palestine’s Gaza is battered by heavy rain, strong winds and freezing temperatures, at least 14 Palestinians have died from winter-related causes, including hypothermia.

Among the dead are at least five children, including two-week-old and one-month-old babies, who froze to death in makeshift tents and damaged homes due to Israel’s blocking of adequate shelter and humanitarian aid from entering the besieged enclave.

Winter storms have flooded and torn apart tents — not designed for cold weather — in which displaced Palestinians have been sheltering since Israel destroyed more than 85 percent of homes across Gaza. Despite an October 10 ceasefire, Israel continues to block the entry of caravans, temporary housing units, reconstruction materials and other essential winter supplies, including blankets and clothing.

This is what solidarity looks like!

Al-Majd Europe: The shell company involved in forced evacuations from Gaza

Dec 19, 2025

A shell company with ties to Israel exploited desperate Palestinians and facilitated their forced evacuation from Gaza, charging them large sums of money to covertly exit the country in what may be an official plan to ethnically cleanse the territory.

In an exclusive digital investigation, Al Jazeera probed last month’s mystery flight that spirited 153 passengers from Gaza to South Africa, unearthing figures working for Al-Majd Europe, an unregistered front organisation that falsely claimed to be working for humanitarian aims.

The Palestinians arrived at OR Tambo International Airport, which serves the cities of Johannesburg and Pretoria, on November 13. Refused entry by border police as they did not have departure stamps from Israel on their passports, they were stuck on the aircraft for 12 hours before being allowed to disembark.

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa admitted the passengers “out of compassion”, but said at the time that his government, which has long been a strong supporter of the Palestinian cause, would investigate as it seemed that they had been “flushed out” of the Gaza Strip.
