Gaza Buildings' Collapse Risks and Global Silence

Under the title "Collapse-Prone Buildings in Gaza... Delayed Death and Unacceptable International Silence," the article points out that thousands of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip face the risk of death due to the collapse of crumbling and unsafe buildings, which continue to threaten their lives as a result of widespread destruction and damage caused by the occupation's war and aggression. The ongoing blockade and restrictions on the entry of building materials and essential equipment for reconstruction exacerbate the situation. The article highlighted the collapse of the "Al-Saada" building in Gaza, which resulted in the deaths of 14 people, including women and children, and injured others, with approximately 100 individuals missing under the rubble. This reflects the severity of the situation and the serious human consequences. The association emphasized that the continuation of the blockade and restrictions on equipment deepen the crisis and turn the endangered buildings into daily hazards, while rescue efforts are hampered by shortages of resources and heavy machinery. Building assessments have shown that more than 91,000 housing units have been partially or fully destroyed. The association called on the international community to bear its responsibilities, take binding measures to protect civilians, lift restrictions on rescue equipment, stop violations, and urgently allow the entry of repair materials before winter. It also stressed the importance of involving Palestinian residents and institutions in reconstruction efforts to ensure their rights, affirming that this right is closely linked to human life, the right to safe housing, and dignity.
