Eman Abu Al-Khair, mother of Mohammed-Photo-Abu Riash Al Jazeera
Al Jazeera - Dec 18, 2025
{Baby Mohammed freezes to death as Gaza battles winter and displacement
Eman Abu al-Khair mourns as cold claims her newborn’s life, exposing the harsh realities faced by displaced families.
Khan Younis, Gaza Strip – With a pale face and unrelenting tears, Eman Abu al-Khair sits inside her tent, clutching a small bag of her infant’s clothes. Her newborn had died of hypothermia the day before. The devastated mother, 34-years-old, still cannot believe she lost her baby, Mohammed, alive for just 14 days. Amid the devastation left by Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza, she simply wasn’t able to keep him warm enough. “I can still hear his tiny cries in my ears,” Eman tells Al Jazeera, the pain visible on her face. “I sleep and drift off, unable to believe that his crying and waking me at night will never happen again.” The family’s tragedy began late on the night of December 13 in al-Mawasi, west of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip, where they had moved to after being displaced from their home in the east of Khan Younis. Eman put her baby to sleep, then woke later to check on him and found him in an alarming condition.
Temperatures had dropped, and without proper shelter or clothing for a newborn, there was no protection for Mohammed. “His body was cold as ice. His hands and feet were frozen, his face stiff and yellowish, and he was barely breathing,” she recalls. “I woke my husband immediately so we could take him to the hospital, but he couldn’t find any means of transportation to get us there.” It was late at night, and heavy rain was still pouring, making it impossible for the father to reach the hospital even on foot. With no alternative, the family had to wait until the morning. “As soon as daylight broke, we rushed with an animal-drawn cart towards the hospital,” Eman says. “But unfortunately, we arrived too late. His condition was already critical.” Medical staff at the Red Crescent Hospital in Khan Younis were shocked by the infant’s deteriorated state. His face had turned completely blue, and he was convulsing, prompting doctors to rush him into the paediatric intensive care unit. Mohammed spent two days in intensive care on a ventilator before he died on the morning of December 15. “My baby had no medical problems. His tests showed no illness. His tiny body simply couldn’t withstand the extreme cold inside the tents,” Eman says, her eyes filling with tears. On Tuesday, Gaza’s Ministry of Health announced the death of an infant due to a severe drop in body temperature caused by extreme cold amid harsh living conditions brought on by the recent weather. In a press statement, the ministry said that infant Mohammed Khalil Abu al-Khair, two weeks old, had died from acute hypothermia. “The child, Abu al-Khair, arrived at the hospital two days ago and was admitted to the intensive care unit, but he passed away yesterday,” the statement said. With Mohammed’s death, the number of children who have died from the cold weather in Gaza has risen to four this month, after the ministry announced three similar deaths during the previous week.
Celebration turned to devastation
The Abu al-Khair family had welcomed the birth of Mohammed on December 1 in an atmosphere of joy and celebration after a gruelling pregnancy that, as ِِEman describes, was filled with hardship, with the war still ongoing. “My pregnancy was extremely difficult. We went through very hard conditions and famine, and I was exhausted,” she says. “But all my suffering faded when Mohammed was born healthy and well. I never imagined we would lose him after just two weeks.”
Eman recounts her desperate attempts to keep her newborn warm using every piece of clothing and the blankets she had, while the baby’s father, Khalil, tried to secure the tent and seal every opening to protect the baby from the cold. But all their efforts were in vain. “We’re living in tents on the street, as you can see. What can a piece of cloth or nylon really do?” she says, pointing around the tent. “The cold is indescribable. Every morning, we wake up to find water flooding our bedding from underneath.” Baby Mohammed was Eman and Khalil’s second child, after their two-year-old daughter, Mona, who had grown up during the war, which began in October 2023. “When we returned from the burial, little Mona came to me asking, ‘Where is the baby?’ Every moment she asks where her little brother went, and her question kills me,” Eman says as she holds her daughter and cries. Eman wonders what crime her baby, and other children his age, have committed to deserve what she describes as the “cruel” fate of a life of misery inside tents. “Our children have died in every possible way: bombing, snipers, hunger, cold, one after another. My child is not the first, and he will not be the last.”
‘Not a life’
Munir al-Bursh, the director general of Gaza’s Ministry of Health, has warned of further deaths among children, the elderly and the sick due to plummeting temperatures inside rain-soaked displacement tents. Al-Bursh said that moisture and standing water inside tents create an environment ripe for the spread of respiratory diseases among displaced people, while patients are unable to access any form of healthcare. Despite the start of a ceasefire in October, little reconstruction has taken place in Gaza, where the majority of residential buildings have been destroyed by Israeli bombing and systematic demolition. Israel has also continued to attack Gaza on a regular basis and shows little sign that it is willing to allow real reconstruction to begin, at least in the near term. That means that the conditions that led to Mohammed’s death are likely to continue. And the tragic loss of her baby has left Eman obsessed with fear for the life of her two-year-old daughter. “I over-warm her, cover her with everything I have, and I never sleep. I check on her constantly. I feel a fire burning in my heart,” she says. Caught between trying to console herself and clinging to patience, Eman wonders how long conditions in Gaza will continue to deteriorate to this extent.
“This is not a life. Sadly, the reality looks like it will continue this way for 10 more years,” she says.
“We want a dignified life for our children, nothing more. Where are the caravans? Where are the housing units? Why is no one moving to save us?”}

Al Jazeera - Dec 18, 2025
{Gaza doctors use 3D tech to save limbs shattered by Israel from amputation
‘Palestinian doctors are still creating, still resisting, still saving lives – one printed piece at a time.’ Doctors in Gaza battling the odds after the enclave’s medical infrastructure was obliterated by Israel’s genocidal war on the besieged enclave have found an ingenious way of saving Palestinians from losing fractured limbs.
With hospitals struggling to function under frequent electricity blackouts, the territory’s resourceful medics are harnessing the power of the sun to power 3D printers creating medical devices for the kinds of complex fractures that have become commonplace under relentless Israeli bombing. Dr Fadel Naim, a consultant orthopaedic surgeon and acting director general of al-Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza City, told Al Jazeera that medics were manufacturing so-called external fixators used to support shattered limbs from low-cost 3D-printed components made from recycled materials. “The types of the fracture we receive, especially in this war, were so complicated, so complex that the external fixator is the most suitable [treatment],” he explained, demonstrating how the devices are assembled at minimal cost using the 3D components, metal rods and nuts and bolts. Naim worked with medical solidarity organisation Glia to lead the innovation in the enclave, creating fixators that would ordinarily cost more than $500 apiece from an open-source design, with no limits on manufacture thanks to the use of solar energy. Al Jazeera met Zakaria, one of three patients whose limbs were spared amputation after being fitted with locally produced fixators. Displaced southwards from the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza to Deir el-Balah, he was the first patient to receive treatment using the device after shrapnel from an Israeli strike shattered his leg. “I was injured in August and I was taken to the hospital without any medical care, but after two weeks, they brought me to the operation room and used a new device to fix my leg. To my surprise, it was a Palestinian-made device,” said Zakaria, sitting in his tent. “He has no pain, has no limitation of range of motion, he can walk,” said Dr Naim, assessing his patient. Reporting from Gaza, Al Jazeera’s Hind Khoudary said the pioneering technology was “a lifeline in Gaza that’s completely lost its electricity supplies and where the health system is collapsing”. “In a place where everything is being destroyed, Palestinian doctors are still creating, still resisting, still saving lives – one printed piece at a time,” she said. Glia said in a news release that 12 more patients are currently awaiting treatment, “demonstrating both the urgent need for these devices and the life-saving impact of local production under siege”. The organisation said the Gaza-led project had “global significance”, demonstrating how the technology could be used in “extreme conditions” and “offering a model for other conflict zones, disaster-affected regions, and climate-vulnerable communities worldwide”. Israeli military operations have devastated Gaza throughout the war, with 63 percent of hospitals remaining out of commission as of December 9. The United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) reported last month that 282,000 housing units have been destroyed in the enclave, where about 1.5 million Palestinians remain displaced. More than 70,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since Israel unleashed its full-scale assault on the enclave following the Hamas-led attack on southern Israel on October 7, 2023.} Video - Source: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/12/18/gaza-doctors-use-3d-printing-to-save-shattered-limbs-from-amputation

{US sanctions more ICC judges, citing ruling on Israeli war crime probe
International court has repeatedly decried US sanctions amid its ongoing investigation into Gaza war crimes. Washington, DC – The United States has issued a new round of sanctions against staff members at the International Criminal Court, citing a recent ruling blocking Israel’s effort to halt a Gaza war crimes investigation. Thursday’s sanctions target two judges: Gocha Lordkipanidze of Georgia and Erdenebalsuren Damdin of Mongolia. In a statement, US Secretary of State Rubio said the judges “have directly engaged in efforts by the ICC to investigate, arrest, detain, or prosecute Israeli nationals, without Israel’s consent”. He also faulted Lordkipanidze and Damdin for “voting with the majority” on December 15, when the ICC rejected Israel’s attempt to pause the war crimes probe. The US is Israel’s ally and has supported its genocidal war in Gaza by continuing to supply the country with billions in military and economic aid. “The ICC has continued to engage in politicized actions targeting Israel, which set a dangerous precedent for all nations,” Rubio said in the statement. The sanctions are the latest in a series of economic restrictions the administration of US President Donald Trump has placed on ICC members and their associates. Critics warn such actions could chill investigations across the world and have wide-ranging implications for prosecutors, judges and even witnesses. In February, for instance, the Trump administration issued broad sanctions targeting ICC staff and anyone assisting the court’s investigations against the US and its allies. The Trump White House continued by issuing individual sanctions against judges and prosecutors it disagreed with. In June, four judges were sanctioned, two of whom participated in probes regarding US personnel in Afghanistan. The other two were involved in the decision to issue arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defence Minister Yoav Gallant. Then, in August, the US expanded the sanctions, taking actions against two more judges and two ICC prosecutors. Even entities outside the ICC have been hit with economic penalties as a result of their participation in its investigations. Last September, Rubio announced that three non-governmental organisations — Al Haq, the Al Mezan Center for Human Rights and the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights — would also face sanctions for helping the ICC “investigate, arrest, detain, or prosecute Israeli nationals”. In a statement on Thursday, the court decried the latest US actions as a “flagrant attack against the independence of an impartial judicial institution”. It nevertheless pledged to carry out its mandate, despite US pressure. “When judicial actors are threatened for applying the law, it is the international legal order itself that is placed at risk,” it said. The sanctions come in part as a protest against the ICC’s decision in November 2024 to issue arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant for alleged war crimes in Gaza. The court also issued arrest warrants for several Hamas leaders, who were subsequently killed in Israeli operations. The Trump administration has also pressured the court to officially end an investigation into US forces’ conduct during its two decade deployment in Afghanistan. The US and Israel are not members of the ICC, and the Trump administration argues the court has exceeded its jurisdiction by investigating US and Israeli citizens. “We will not tolerate ICC abuses of power that violate the sovereignty of the United States and Israel and wrongly subject US and Israeli persons to the ICC’s jurisdiction,” Rubio said on Thursday. But the court has maintained it can investigate abuses committed by the two countries within the borders of its signatories, including the occupied Palestinian territories. In a post on the social media platform X, Sarah Leah Whitson, the executive director for the human rights nonprofit Democracy for the Arab World Now (DAWN), said Rubio is “coddling Israeli war criminals”. She added that the court should “not wait to prosecute him for interfering with justice”. Israeli officials have repeatedly cheered the Trump administration’s sanctions. Israel’s war in Gaza has killed at least 171,152 Palestinians since October 7, 2023, when a Hamas-led attack on southern Israel killed 1,139 people. The US also announced sanctions on Thursday against 29 vessels and management companies it said were linked to Iran.} Video - Source: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/12/18/us-sanctions-more-icc-judges-citing-ruling-on-israeli-war-crime-probe

{UK police arrest four people for pro-Palestine ‘Intifada’ calls
Arrests made at protests supporting imprisoned Palestine Action hunger strikers, as Gaza death toll surpasses 70,000. Police in the United Kingdom have made their first arrests since announcing their intent to crack down on people making public calls to “globalise the Intifada” after Australia’s Bondi Beach attack, speciously linking largely peaceful protests against Israel’s genocidal war with a deadly targeting of a Jewish festival. London’s Metropolitan Police posted on X late on Wednesday that it had made four arrests at pro-Palestinian protests held outside the Ministry of Justice in Westminster, “all involving the alleged shouting or chanting of slogans involving calls for intifada”. The arrests were made at a demonstration that had been called in support of eight imprisoned hunger strikers, whose lives are in peril. They were jailed over connections to the Palestine Action group, just hours after the Metropolitan (Met) and Greater Manchester Police (GMT) said they would be “more assertive” in policing pro-Palestine protests to counter alleged anti-Semitism. UK Safeguarding Minister Jess Phillips backed the Met’s action. “I cannot think of any interpretation other than that [it] is inciting people to violence, which has the terrible consequences,” she was cited as saying by The Times of London. But Ben Jamal, from the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, pointed out in a statement that the Arabic word “intifada” means “shaking off or uprising against injustice”. In the Palestinian context, the word is understood to mean civil uprising against military occupation and illegal settlement expansion, with key historical instances in 1987-93 and 2000-05, drawing brutal responses from Israel that left thousands of people dead. Jamal criticised the lack of consultation over the new police stance, saying on X that “forces across the political establishment” were using the “grotesque racist violence on Bondi beach” to delegitimise any protest against “open genocide”. The police crackdown follows father-and-son gunmen killing 15 people Sunday at a Hanukkah festival on the Sydney beach and an October attack on a Manchester synagogue on Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the Jewish calendar. “Violent acts have taken place, the context has changed – words have meaning and consequence. We will act decisively and make arrests,” said the commanders of the Met and GMP in a joint statement. Jewish groups welcomed the announcement, with the UK’s Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis calling it “an important step towards challenging the hateful rhetoric we have seen on our streets, which has inspired acts of violence and terror”. Groups like the Community Security Trust (CST), which works to provide security to protect British Jews, say anti-Semitic incidents have risen in the UK. In the meantime, Islamophobia and attacks against Muslims in the UK, prompted by racist rhetoric in mainstream politics on the right of the political spectrum, most prevalently but not only by Nigel Farage’s Reform party and its supporters, have soared in recent years.} Source: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/12/18/uk-police-arrest-four-people-for-pro-palestine-intifada-calls

{Qatar’s PM says Israeli ceasefire violations ‘endanger’ entire Gaza process
Sheikh Mohammed calls for urgent move to second phase as winter storms worsen humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
Qatar’s prime minister has warned that daily Israeli breaches of the Gaza ceasefire are threatening the entire agreement, as he called for urgent progress towards the next phase of the deal to end Israel’s genocidal war on the besieged Palestinian enclave. Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani made the appeal following talks with United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Washington on Wednesday, where he stressed that “delays and ceasefire violations endanger the entire process and place mediators in a difficult position”. The Qatari premier, whose country has played a critical mediating role, said humanitarian aid must reach Gaza “unconditionally” and that the second phase of the agreement must begin immediately. The discussions at the seventh US-Qatar Strategic Dialogue came as the fragile truce continues to fray amid a deepening humanitarian emergency across Gaza.
Israel’s regular violations of ceasefire
Since the ceasefire took effect on October 10, Israel has violated the agreement at least 738 times, killing at least 394 Palestinians and wounding another 1,075, according to Al Jazeera’s tracking of the violations. Al Jazeera’s chief US correspondent Alan Fisher said the talks were dominated by three critical issues. Chief among them was mounting pressure on Israel to halt ceasefire violations, “most of which have been” committed by Israeli forces, he said. Discussions also focused on forming an international stabilisation force (ISF), expected to include Indonesian and Turkish troops, though Israel has baulked at Turkiye’s involvement, and on Gaza’s deepening humanitarian crisis, with Qatar urging Washington to press Israel to allow more aid through. The ceasefire violations reached a critical point over the weekend when Israel assassinated senior Hamas commander Raed Saad in Gaza City. US President Donald Trump told reporters his administration was “looking into” whether the strike breached the truce, while American officials told US outlet Axios that the White House had sent a sharp rebuke to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, warning him not to “ruin President Trump’s reputation after he brokered the deal”.
Severe weather piles on misery in Gaza
The humanitarian situation has become desperate as winter storms pummel the territory, as hundreds of thousands of Palestinians huddle in flimsy makeshift tents or unsafe, bombed-out buildings. This has been compounded by Israel’s refusal to allow vital supplies, including mobile homes, into Gaza. Aid delivery remains severely restricted, with only 39 percent of allocated trucks reaching their destinations inside the enclave, according to its Government Media Office. Israel has blocked nutritious foods while permitting non-essential items to enter. Om Thursday, a 29-day-old premature baby, Said Asad Abedin, died from severe hypothermia in the al Mawasi area of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip, according to the Nasser hospital. This has raised the death toll from extreme weather to 13. A two-week-old baby, Mohammed Khalil Abu al-Khair, also froze to death earlier this week after developing severe hypothermia. The United Nations reports that roughly 30,000 children have been affected by storm damage to their shelters, while Israel continues blocking essential winter supplies, including tents and blankets, from entering Gaza. Hamas’s Gaza chief Khalil al-Hayya said on Sunday that continued Israeli violations “threaten the viability of the agreement” and urged Trump to compel Israel to honour its commitments. Netanyahu, however, defended the killing of Saad, accusing Hamas of violating the peace plan by attempting to rearm. The second phase of the US-backed ceasefire envisions Hamas disarming while Israeli forces withdraw and an international force deploys, both issues which have proved thornier than the first phase, which was mainly limited to an exchange of prisoners and captives.
Netanyahu said on Saturday that Israel was “nearing the end of the first phase” of the ceasefire agreement and was working intensively to secure the return of Master Sergeant Ran Gvili’s remains, the last deceased captive held in Gaza. Hundreds of Palestinian prisoners’ bodies have been returned by Israel, many showing signs of torture, mutilation and execution. Testimonies from released Palestinian prisoners, as well as the condition of bodies handed over, have underscored Israeli abuse.} Video - Source: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/12/18/qatars-pm-says-israeli-ceasefire-violations-endanger-entire-gaza-process

{Infant Freezes to Death in Gaza, Fifth Child to Die in Days Amid Israeli Aid Restrictions
Civil Defense Spokesperson Mahmoud Basal said Tuesday that winter rains flooded 90 percent of tents in the war-torn enclave, leaving thousands of families without shelter. Infant Freezes to Death in Gaza, Fifth Child to Die in Days Amid Israeli Aid Restrictions
Gaza (QNN)- A Palestinian infant has frozen to death in Gaza, becoming the fifth child to die in recent days as Israel continues to restrict the entry of shelter materials and other humanitarian aid despite the harsh winter conditions there and ceasefire. The Palestinian Health Ministry confirmed on Thursday that one-month-old Saeed Abdeen died from extreme cold amid a severe lack of heating and adequate living conditions. Since a huge storm hit the Palestinian enclave last week and winter set in, at least 20 Palestinians have died from cold exposure and collapsing buildings, including five children (all children from cold), medical sources and local authorities said. Despite being battered by heavy rainfall and early winter storms for several weeks now, "winterisation supplies" remain "limited" in Gaza, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (Ocha) said in its daily report. Civil Defense Spokesperson Mahmoud Basal said Tuesday that winter rains flooded 90 percent of tents in the war-torn enclave, leaving thousands of families without shelter. The Civil Defense teams said they received more than 5,000 calls for help from residents since the storms began affecting the Gaza Strip. Israel’s two-year war has destroyed more than 80 percent of the structures across Gaza, forcing hundreds of thousands of families to take refuge in flimsy tents or overcrowded makeshift shelters. Now, the humanitarian conditions continue to deteriorate as winter deepens amid the Israeli blockade despite the ceasefire which took effect on October 10. With limited access to shelter materials, fuel, and medical care, displaced Palestinians fear that the coming weeks will bring even greater hardship. This week, the United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees UNRWA said the Israeli occupation government has blocked it from bringing aid directly into Gaza. “People have reportedly died due to the collapse of damaged buildings where families were sheltering. Children have reportedly died from exposure to the cold,” UNRWA said in a social media post on Tuesday. “This must stop. Aid must be allowed in at scale, now,” adding Palestinians across the territory are "freezing to death". Aid groups have called on the international community to press Israel to lift restrictions on aid entering the war-torn Gaza Strip, warning that life-saving operations risk collapse. In a statement issued on Tuesday, the Humanitarian Country Team,  which brings together senior UN officials and more than 200 local and international aid groups, referred to a new registration system for international non-governmental organisations, introduced earlier this year. Aid groups say the process is “vague, politicised and impossible to meet without breaching humanitarian principles” as dozens of organisations face deregistration by the end of December, followed by the forced closure of their operations within weeks.} Video - Source: https://qudsnen.co/post?id=66909&slug=infant-freezes-to-death-in-gaza-fifth-child-to-die-in-days-amid-israeli-aid-restrictions

Aid Groups Urge Israel to Lift Restrictions on Gaza Aid as Life-Saving Operations Near Collapse
Gaza (QNN)- More than 200 local and international aid groups have called on the international community to press Israel to lift restrictions on aid entering the war-torn Gaza Strip, warning that life-saving operations risk collapse after two years of genocide and blockade. In a statement issued on Tuesday, the Humanitarian Country Team,  which brings together senior UN officials and more than 200 local and international aid groups, referred to a new registration system for international non-governmental organisations, introduced earlier this year. Aid groups say the process is “vague, politicised and impossible to meet without breaching humanitarian principles” as dozens of organisations face deregistration by the end of December, followed by the forced closure of their operations within weeks. “These organisations are not optional extras,” the statement said. “If they are pushed out, the humanitarian response will not survive.” The groups added that “millions of dollars’ worth of food, medicines, hygiene supplies and shelter materials are now stuck outside Gaza, unable to reach families in need” due to the Israeli restrictions. According to the Humanitarian Country Team, international NGOs support or run much of Gaza’s basic infrastructure for survival. “They underpin field hospitals and primary health clinics, provide clean water and sanitation, distribute emergency shelter, and treat children suffering from severe malnutrition." “Lifesaving assistance must be allowed to reach Palestinians without further delay,” the statement concluded, urging Israel to allow rapid and unimpeded aid deliveries and to ensure that humanitarian organisations can operate independently and safely. Without swift action, the team warned, the “consequences for civilians in Gaza would be catastrophic.” The warning comes as winter deepens in Gaza with at least 17 Palestinians have died, including four children, from cold and collapsing buildings since a heavy storm hit the enclave last week, according to the Palestiniaj Civil Defense. Despite being battered by heavy rainfall and early winter storms for several weeks now, "winterisation supplies" remain "limited" in Gaza, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (Ocha) said in its daily report.
