Gaza Building Collapse Kills 21 People
The collapse of a damaged building in Gaza resulted in the death of 21 people, including 12 children and 5 women, and injured 45 others, after residents woke up to the sound of the collapse and the screams of those trapped. The building, which has six floors and four apartments on each floor, was home to displaced families from devastated neighborhoods and was suffering from cracks due to prior Israeli bombardments. Reports confirm that the Israeli blockade prevents the entry of repair materials and heavy rescue equipment, increasing the risk of further collapses, as around two thousand damaged and inhabited buildings are present in the area. Urgent intervention is needed to provide equipped alternative housing to prevent such disasters from recurring.
