A war-damaged apartment building collapses in Gaza City, killing at least 12 people and leaving dozens trapped under rubble as rescuers search for survivors. Multiple outlets report that rescue teams comb through the wreckage, with some describing digging by hand while locating missing residents.
Outlets provide closely related details about who is affected: reports mention children among the dead, and some say the building housed multiple families. The BBC and Reuters-based coverage describe people missing beneath the debris and refer to families living in the building. Other reports vary slightly on the building’s height and casualty estimates, with some citing “at least 10” deaths, others stating “nearly 100” feared trapped, and differing counts of the injured.
Several outlets frame the incident as part of the broader risk facing residents of partially damaged structures across the enclave. Reuters and others note that thousands of buildings in Gaza are damaged from airstrikes, leaving families in shelters vulnerable to further collapse even after earlier attacks.
