At least 12 Palestinians including women and children have died after a multi-storey residential building collapsed overnight in western Gaza City, with six families reportedly trapped underneath, according to local witnesses and journalists.
Gaza’s Civil Defence said on Wednesday at least 12 people died, including five children.
According to witnesses and the verified footage, children’s cries for help could be heard from beneath the concrete as civil defence crews struggled to reach those buried inside.
Another video showed a young girl pulled alive from the wreckage, and several survivors emerging from the rubble, including young children appearing breathless, before being taken away by ambulance.
