Al-Hakim Ahmed al-Zaharneh, who was among the crews working at the European Gaza Hospital, has died because of “extreme” weather conditions, according to a statement by the enclave’s health ministry, Al Jazeera reports.

His body was found inside his tent in al-Mawasi area, west of the city of Khan Younis, southern Gaza.

“This incident comes in light of the difficult humanitarian conditions that displaced citizens are experiencing, as the suffering of Gaza residents increases due to low temperatures and the lack of heating means in tents,” the ministry said.
