At least six infants have died from hypothermia in the last two weeks in Gaza, where hundreds of thousands of people are living in tent camps and war-damaged buildings during a fragile ceasefire, Palestinian medics said.

Temperatures have plunged in recent days, with temperatures dropping below 10C at night and storms blowing in from the Mediterranean.
