War-Damaged Gaza Building Collapse Kills Dozens, Rescue Efforts Underway
A war-damaged seven-storey building in Gaza City collapsed overnight, killing at least 12 to 20 Palestinians, including children, and trapping nearly 100 others beneath the rubble. The building had been damaged by earlier Israeli airstrikes and was inhabited by displaced families due to shelter shortages. Rescue efforts, hindered by limited heavy machinery and Israeli restrictions, involved local civil defense teams, UN agencies, and Egyptian aid. Officials warn that hundreds of similar structures remain at risk, especially with winter approaching.
