A baby girl froze to death overnight in Gaza as Israel and Hamas trade accusations of ceasefire delays.

The 3-week old baby was the third to die from the cold in Gaza ’s tent camps in recent days , said doctors.

The deaths underscore the squalid conditions, with hundreds of thousands of Palestinians crammed into often ramshackle tents after fleeing Israeli bombardment and offensives.

Families of the hostages are calling on the Israeli government for a ceasefire before Trump is sworn in.

The agreement would take effect in phases and include a halt in fighting, an exchange of Israeli hostages for Palestinian prisoners and a surge in aid to the besieged Gaza Strip .

The last phase would include the release of any remaining hostages, an end to the war and talks on reconstruction.
