A pregnant woman was killed in one of the Israeli air strikes on a house in Gaza City, Al Jazeera’s Hind Khoudary reports.

“Medics were able to save the baby, but it lost the mother,” she says.

Khoudary added that Palestinian writer Walaa Jumaa Al-Ifranji and her husband were killed in an Israeli strike on their home, while a baby died from cold weather in a makeshift camp in Khan Younis.

“The situation is dire on every level across the Gaza Strip,” Khoudary reports.
