At least 21 killed after building collapses in Gaza City
A structure housing about 100 displaced Palestinian families collapsed, with rescue workers hampered by lack of heavy machinery.
A building in Gaza City collapsed, killing at least 21 people, including 11 children, according to rescue workers. The structure housed approximately 100 displaced Palestinian families.
Gaza's civil defence said they recovered five children among the victims, with 25 injured people taken to hospital. Rescuers reported hearing voices of people trapped beneath the rubble but faced obstacles due to lack of heavy machinery, forcing them to dig by hand.
