Gaza building collapse causes 8 deaths and dozens missing
Early Wednesday morning, Gaza witnessed the collapse of a residential building damaged by the war, resulting in the deaths of eight Palestinians, including children, and the injury of 15 others. More than 60 people are missing or trapped under the rubble. The collapse occurred in the industrial area southwest of Gaza City. The building, which fell while its residents were asleep, was already under threat due to previous damages sustained during Israeli bombing, causing extensive cracks. Rescue teams are engaged in search and extraction efforts using limited equipment, facing difficulties in reaching those trapped due to a shortage of heavy machinery. Tensions remain high due to ongoing Israeli shelling, despite the implementation of a ceasefire. Sources confirm that many displaced residents are staying in buildings at risk of collapse, and the Gaza Strip continues to face severe humanitarian conditions caused by the blockade and the occupation’s bombings.
