Gaza warns of unstable bombed buildings

The governmental media office in Gaza warned that thousands of cracked buildings resulting from Israeli shelling are on the verge of collapsing and could turn into ticking time bombs, further exacerbating the humanitarian crisis in the sector, which is facing a severe slide toward an overall disaster. It clarified that the collapse of a six-story residential building resulted in the deaths of many children and women. The ongoing Israeli restrictions prevent rescue tools and essential equipment from entering to extinguish disasters and carry out search operations. This has halted rescue efforts and increased the number of the missing to more than 8,500 people. The office called on the international community to act swiftly to lift the siege, allow the entry of rescue equipment, fuel, and vital supplies needed to save those trapped and to reduce the magnitude of the catastrophe.
