00:00This child had just turned one year old and died on the very day of his birthday.

00:07A new tragedy added to the long list of Gaza's children suffering, this time because of the cold.

00:14The child, Mohamed Basiyouni, died inside a tent in Deir al-Bala that offered no protection from the cold or rain.

00:24His situation mirrors that of thousands of children in Gaza, shivering in the open.

00:31The clothes they wear to face the cold are insufficient and offer little protection.

00:38Heavy rain and strong winds, once they begin to blow, turn tents upside down,

00:45adding yet another layer of hardship to the already dire conditions facing Gaza's residents.

00:52Since the onset of severe winter conditions,

00:55Gaza's hospitals have received dozens of children suffering from hypothermia,
