At least 20 people have been killed and 25 injured after a building housing around 100 displaced Palestinian families collapsed in Gaza City due to Israeli airstrikes, with rescuers searching for dozens believed trapped beneath the rubble, including children. Among the victims, five children were identified as recovery efforts continue under extremely challenging conditions lacking heavy machinery, with many displaced individuals forced to occupy damaged structures due to a lack of shelter options. Since the ceasefire began on October 11, 2023, Gaza's health ministry reports a total of 1,369 Palestinian deaths and 4,627 injuries from ongoing Israeli strikes.

At least 12 people, including children, have died and dozens are missing after a war-damaged building collapsed in Gaza, where 10 families were living despite warnings of its unsafe condition. Israeli air strikes on Tuesday resulted in the deaths of at least five Palestinians, including two children and a Hamas commander, with additional casualties reported from an Israeli drone strike on a health center supported by a British charity. Rescue efforts were initially hindered by Israeli restrictions on equipment, but local responders have since acquired some heavy machinery to aid in the search for survivors.

A multi-storey residential building in western Gaza City collapsed, trapping six families beneath the rubble, with rescue crews and residents working tirelessly to reach them. Verified footage showed children being pulled from the wreckage, with cries for help heard from below, although the number of casualties is still unknown. The building had been previously damaged by an Israeli bombing, contributing to its structural instability, and many Palestinians continue to live in hazardous conditions as construction material shortages hinder recovery efforts.
