The Infant Aisha Al-Qassas' body freezes to death

Aisha Al-Qassas, born twenty days ago in the crowded tents at the beginning of January, came out into life laughing with a cheerful face and a heart filled with hope. At the time, she did not understand the meaning of birth in a land surrounded by hell on all sides. Her fragile, weak body could not bear the frost of the country that had been destroyed in the time of genocide, so she died of cold, her only sin being that she was born to a mother and father from Gaza.

In this way, which reflects the extent of the hell that people in Gaza are living in, and the extent of the ugliness of the occupation and its soldiers, the twenty-day-old infant Aisha Al-Qassas died, freezing from the bitter cold and the rain that fell on the tents of the displaced, so their limbs froze and they drowned in the mud of the distance, and the mud of fate that made living conditions heavier, amidst the ongoing suffering, while they are in the openness of tents that do not warm the bodies, nor protect from frost and rain, nor protect from shelling and bullets.

A chapter of tragedy is added to the impact of the genocide in Gaza. People are homeless, and winter has returned once again in a series of days of war and continuous killing, where time is hell, and time is miserable, and where everything is hopeless.

Twenty-day-old Aisha Al-Qassas could not bear the cold of winter in a tent on the edge of the border. She is one of thousands of children who have died, whether from bombing, hunger and thirst, or the bitter cold, as the frost of Gaza’s nights is unbearable for adults, so how would it be for children who are born in such difficult and tragic circumstances, with nothing to cover them with in swaddling clothes to keep them warm, and no blankets to protect them on the bitterly cold January nights?

It is a series of tragedies that people in Gaza live through every minute and every moment, and the conscience of the world is still unable to confront the perpetrators to stop their genocide, prevent their arrogance, curb their aggression, ethnic cleansing, and ongoing siege. Everyone who witnesses this genocide knows how negligent the conscience of the world has been, how the covenants of nations have fallen silent, and with them the voice of justice has disappeared!

Aisha Al-Qassas, a 20-day-old infant who died of cold, and the world's conscience has not yet been moved, and humanity has not been provoked by those scenes that make humanity sweat. Someone says: Why do we ask about the lost humanity of the world; and who do we address?! With our humanity, we have passed the chapters of waiting and no one has moved! So how can we address those who are less humane, and they have appeared to us as having no conscience, preferring silence and committing to neutrality?
