20 Dead After Gaza Building That Suffered Damages In Israeli Strikes Collapses, Dozens Feared Trapped
Civil defence spokesman Mahmoud Basal said the structure had been struck several times in 2024 and again in March 2025.
At least 20 people, including five infants, were killed after a six-storey residential building collapsed in Gaza City on Wednesday, with dozens of others feared to be trapped beneath the rubble, Gaza authorities said.
The building, located in the Tal al-Hawa area, reportedly came down overnight after sustaining structural damage in earlier Israeli strikes. The collapse also damaged nearby homes and tents housing displaced Palestinians, according to Gaza’s civil defence agency.
