Rescue Efforts End After 21 Die in Collapse of Bomb-Damaged Building in Gaza; 45 Saved From Rubble
Rescuers recovered 21 bodies and pulled 45 people alive from the rubble as heavy machinery shortages slowed clearing efforts, officials said.
- Gaza rescuers concluded search operations on Thursday at a bomb-damaged building that collapsed a day earlier, where 21 people were killed and 45 rescued from the rubble, a Palestinian official said.
- Mahmoud Basal, spokesperson for the Palestinian Civil Defense Service, reported eight children among the dead. Survivor Nader El-Ejlah warned that multiple buildings in Gaza remain on the verge of collapse due to lack of shelter alternatives.
- "We don't have the needed equipment," Basal told Reuters. Palestinian officials blame Israeli restrictions for the lack of heavy machinery to clear rubble, while Israel claims these curbs prevent militants from acquiring equipment.
- On Thursday, bulldozers began clearing the site to prepare the ground for tents, aiming to house survivors from among the more than 110 people who had been living in the damaged building.
- A US-brokered ceasefire agreed last year has seen little progress, leaving more than 2 million people confined to damaged buildings. With more than 73,000 killed, reconstruction remains stalled as negotiators fail to secure terms for Hamas to disarm and Israel to withdraw.
