Dr. Ahmed Al-Farra, head of pediatrics and obstetrics at Nasser Hospital, stated that in the past 72 hours, four Gazan newborns, who were seeking refuge with their families in tents in the Mawasi area of Khan Yunis, southern Gaza, have died.
Al-Farra confirmed that the four infants who passed away were in good health and had not previously suffered from heart or respiratory diseases, but due to low temperatures and the lack of warm shelter, they passed away.

The Israeli military issued evacuation orders for parts of central Gaza’s al-Bureij refugee camp on Wednesday. People were heard asking, “Where should we go?” and “There is no safe place,” as Israel intensifies its attacks on Gaza’s so-called “safe zone”.
Avichay Adraee, an Israeli army spokesman, published a map of the zones that must be cleared, claiming that rockets were fired at Israel from this area and the Israeli forces had to respond.
“For your own safety, move immediately to the humanitarian zone,” he claimed.
The al-Mawasi area has been heavily targeted by the Israeli military in recent weeks.
The Forensic Architecture website, which has systematically been documenting strikes in Gaza, said that there were five strikes on Mawasi from late May through September 10. Data collected by Dr. Lee Mordechai of Hebrew University, who is tracking developments in Gaza, says that the strikes on Mawasi resumed on November 9, and that in less than a month Israeli struck the area at least eight times, killing scores of people.
Palestinians displaced by Israel’s war on Gaza are “increasingly forced to concentrate within the Israeli-designated zone in al-Mawasi”, an area of approximately 41sq km (15.83sq miles) lacking critical infrastructure and services, according to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA).
Some 1.9 million people – 90 percent of Gaza’s population – have been displaced at least once by Israel’s war. Of those, roughly 43,580 are estimated to be pregnant women, statistics from the UN Population Fund show.
Many are crowded into flimsy tents after being ordered to al-Mawasi by the Israeli military according to the Quds News Network.

Today, Tuesday, there are media reports of dozens of Palestinian bodies lying in the streets of Jabalia refugee camp, with civil defense unable to reach them due to the Israeli forces besieging the area.
Israeli forces have entered Jabalia four days ago with the aim of forcing its residents to move to Al Mawasi and clear the area in a bid to start implementing the Generals’ Plan of evacuating the population of north Gaza in preparation of declaring it a security zone.
However, they are reports like as in previous incursions of the town and its camp the Israeli army is having a tough time with reports of at least one soldier being killed and a tank blown up from the Palestinian resistance groups who have regrouped in north Gaza.
The Israeli army had already reduced Jabalia into a pile of rubble and debris in early June, 2024, yet they couldn’t get rid of the stiff resistance there. In the first six days when Israeli soldiers started to enter Jabalia and the areas of northern Gaza that included Biet Lahia, Biet Hanoon and Al Zaitoun in Gaza City, the Israeli army reported it lost 95 soldiers between those killed and injured and with tanks, armed carriers and few bulldozers put out of action. The cost of one bulldozer is earmarked at $1 million.
