Gaza's Crack Buildings Turned into Bombs
Gaza is witnessing a widespread urban disaster due to the collapse of buildings damaged by the ongoing Israeli war. Approximately 2,000 residential structures are at risk of sudden collapse, despite the urgent need to remove or reinforce them to ensure the safety of residents. The risks are increasing as winter approaches, amid severe shortages of construction materials and heavy equipment caused by the Israeli blockade, which prevents the entry of cement and building tools, making repair and support efforts difficult. Experts are calling for an urgent international response, including opening border crossings, supplying rescue teams with equipment, and exerting political pressure to allow the entry of safety materials, in order to protect residents and keep them in safe locations before winter arrives. The collapse of Al-Saada Building and other structures has resulted in the death of at least 20 Palestinians, including children and women, with another 25 injured, about 100 people missing, and over 200,000 facilities destroyed across the sector. The crisis continues to worsen as the war persists, having killed more than 73,000 Palestinians and destroyed around 90% of the infrastructure.
