Gaza Buildings at Risk Due to Resource Shortage
As winter approaches in Gaza, experts have warned of the dangers of further collapses of already damaged buildings, especially given limited capabilities and a shortage of the necessary equipment for maintenance and reinforcement. They clarified that building collapses have been recurring roughly every two weeks, resulting so far in the deaths of 65 people and the injury of 270 others. The experts anticipate that rain and humidity during the winter could increase the fragility of the structures, threatening to cause a greater number of casualties—particularly in Gaza City, which is most vulnerable due to high population density and the presence of many damaged buildings that cannot withstand weather conditions or the tremors caused by ongoing shelling. They emphasized that the lack of materials and equipment hampers repair efforts and rapid interventions, and that some residents are risking their lives by remaining inside threatened buildings, which amplifies the danger to their lives. They warned that if these issues are not addressed before winter, there could be an increase in collapses and new victims.
