Baby girl freezes to death in Gaza while Israel and Hamas argue over ceasefire

Three-week-old Sila is the third baby to die from the cold in Gaza's tent camps in recent days, according to doctors

A baby girl froze to death overnight in Gaza, while Israel and Hamas accused each other of complicating ceasefire efforts that could wind down the 14-month war.

The three-week old baby was the third to die from the cold in Gaza's tent camps in recent days, doctors said.

The deaths underscore the squalid conditions there, with hundreds of thousands of Palestinians crammed into often ramshackle tents after fleeing Israeli offensives.

Israel's bombardment and ground invasion of Gaza has killed more than 45,000 Palestinians, more than half of them women and children, according to Gaza's health ministry, which does not distinguish between fighters and civilians in its count.

The offensive has caused widespread destruction and displaced about 90% of Gaza's 2.3 million people, often multiple times.
