Gaza building collapse kills more than 20, dozens remain trapped under rubble

A six-story residential building in Gaza City collapsed early Wednesday, killing over 20 people, including several children, and leaving dozens trapped under the rubble. Local authorities reported that approximately 100 people are missing, with search and rescue operations ongoing. The building was previously targeted by Israeli airstrikes, which followed Hamas' October 7, 2023, attack on Israel. The collapse highlights the severe housing crisis in Gaza, where around 80% of structures have been damaged since the conflict began, forcing millions of Palestinians to live in unsafe conditions. Hamas blamed Israel for restricting access to essential rescue equipment, while the UN called for urgent measures to allow critical supplies into the territory.
