Balakrishnan Rajagopal, the UN special rapporteur on the right to adequate housing, says he has warned for months that “more than a million Palestinians lack shelter” for winter conditions, Al Jazeera reports.

“Now babies are freezing to death,” Rajagopal added, noting that this is another “achievement” of Israel’s so-called “most moral army in the world”.

Several Palestinian babies have frozen to death in the past few nights in Gaza, including three who died of hypothermia in the so-called “humanitarian zone” in al-Mawasi.
