Deadly Winter in Gaza Amid Shelter Aid Shortages (Full Transcript)

[00:00:00] Speaker 1: This is what life is like for hundreds of thousands in Gaza this winter. Tents and tarps all they have to shield themselves from howling winds and bitter cold, as the U.N. says Israel is still restricting the entry of shelter supplies. That scarcity can be deadly for Gaza's most vulnerable. On his first birthday, Mohamed Bassioni froze to death. One of four Palestinian children whom health officials say died of hypothermia this week. His father says their tent flooded, and there was nothing to keep him warm. We couldn't sleep from how intense the storm was, he says. We fell asleep for one hour, and once we woke up, we found him dead. Damaged buildings also offer little safety, walls and ceilings collapsing onto makeshift tents. At least four people were killed when buildings collapsed in the last two days, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry, bringing the death toll attributed to winter weather to more than two dozen. The tarps amid this rubble tell that story. A mother and her daughter were killed when this war-torn building collapsed over them. Yahya Hamouda spent six hours trying to pull his aunt and cousin from the rubble, and says others are still buried beneath it. Our children are all underneath. We do not know how to get them out, he cries. As you can see, this is the blood. Civil defense workers are doing what they can, but fuel shortages and limited equipment mean rescues often come too late. Families are forced to say their goodbyes. We were sitting, trusting in God. We had no idea, and suddenly something came down. A wall eight meters high collapsed onto my relatives, he says. They say aid is coming in and tents are coming in, but we see none of it.
