00:00In Palestine, a building damaged by a previous Israeli strike collapsed on Wednesday, leaving at least 20 dead and dozens
00:06unaccounted for.
00:07A multi-story residential building has collapsed overnight in western Gaza City, with 10 families reportedly trapped underneath.
00:15In the aftermath, the Palestinian civil defense said at least 20 people were killed, including 500 and 14 others were
00:21injured when the seven-story building collapsed overnight.
00:24Rescue efforts are underway, however, Gaza's civil defense stated that it is extremely difficult to reach about 100 people still
00:30missing because rescue teams lack the appropriate equipment.
00:33This comes as Israel's genocidal war against Palestinians in Gaza damaged and partially destroyed thousands of buildings across the besieged
00:42territory, and Israel has restricted the entry of construction materials needed for repairs.
00:53At 3 a.m., civil defense crews received a report of the total collapse of a five-story building and
00:58immediately deployed to the scene.
01:01We were devastated by the sight of the unfolding disaster.
01:04The entire building had collapsed, leaving its residents trapped beneath the rubble.
01:10We immediately began the work of rescuing the injured, responding to multiple distress calls and the cries of women and
01:15children who were still alive.
01:19The residents moved into this building fully aware that it was cracked and in danger of collapse.
01:25However, a lack of other options left them with no choice but to inhabit these compromised homes, leading to the
01:31outcome we see now.
01:33Despite limited resources, our efforts at the civil defense continue, and we will persist until we have recovered all the
01:39martyrs estimated to number more than 95.
