TEHRAN (Defapress) - The Palestinian Government Information Office in Gaza announced that since the start of the war until yesterday, 21 people, including 18 children, have martyred from severe cold in refugee camps.

The statement emphasized that with genocide and the siege of the people of this region continuing, along with the destruction of homes and infrastructure and the forced displacement of over one and a half million Palestinians into refugee camps, where they are deprived of the most basic amenities, a humanitarian disaster has unfolded in Gaza

This Palestinian entity, emphasizing Israel's responsibility for these crimes, called on the international community, the United Nations, and humanitarian and legal institutions to take immediate action, including providing secure shelter and allowing unrestricted access to heating supplies and relief efforts in Gaza to save the lives of the remaining people in this region.

Yesterday, the Zionist regime's army, in violation of the fragile ceasefire in Gaza, continued its attacks on various areas, leaving several martyrs.

According to official statistics, since the agreement was signed, hundreds of Palestinians have been martyred and over 1,200 people have been wounded as a result of Israeli attacks.
