From the repercussions of the Israeli siege: Two infant girls die due to a fire that broke out in a tent for displaced persons in Gaza
Two infant girls, aged two months and seven months, died from severe burns after a fire broke out in a tent for displaced persons in the Mawasi area of Khan Younis, caused by lighting a fire for cooking amid a shortage of cooking gas and the absence of safe alternatives due to the Israeli siege.
Two infant girls, aged two months and seven months, died from severe burns sustained in a fire that broke out in a tent for displaced persons in the Mawasi area west of Khan Younis. The Nasser Medical Complex announced in a brief statement on Saturday the death of infant Habiba Muhammad Zanoun (two months) and Aseel Abu Suhaiban (seven months). Local sources reported that the fire resulted from lighting a fire for cooking inside the tent, amid a severe shortage of cooking gas and the absence of safe alternatives due to the Israeli siege. The incident highlights the increasing risks faced by displaced persons in their temporary shelters, especially as many families are forced to light fires for cooking and heating.
