5-month-old Palestinian child dies due to Gaza siege

Friday 26-January-2018

A 5-month-old Palestinian baby girl died on Friday in a blaze that flared in her family’s home in al-Sabra neighborhood in Gaza city.

The Palestinian Civil Defense said that the home of Jamil Dughmush caught on fire resulting in the death of his little baby Jumana.

The fire was caused by torching a candle in one of the rooms in the house in light of electricity cut off. The people of Gaza have to use candles for illumination since there is no electricity due to the ongoing Gaza siege which has been imposed on the coastal enclave for 11 years.
