Residential building collapses in Gaza City, killing at least 19 people

A six-storey building in Gaza City fell down on Wednesday, killing between 19 and 21 people. About 100 people were living in the building, including 10 families who had lost their homes. At least 12 of the dead were children. The building had been damaged by Israeli strikes and was known to be unsafe, but families had nowhere else to go. Rescue workers arrived without heavy equipment because Israel has restricted what can enter Gaza. They worked by hand and with basic tools. At least 25 people were injured, and dozens more were still missing under the rubble. Around 2,000 other occupied buildings in Gaza are also at risk of collapse.
