Storm Causes Injuries and Building Collapses in Gaza

Two people were injured when a wall collapsed in a rain-soaked building previously hit by Israeli bombardment, as strong winds caused partial collapses and civil defense warned of limited capacity.

Two people were injured when the wall of a building previously hit by Israeli bombardment collapsed in the Gaza Strip due to rainwater accompanying a weather depression, while strong winds caused partial collapses in residential buildings that required civil defense crews to intervene and evacuate residents.

The medical services said two people were injured when the wall of the damaged building collapsed because of the rainwater.

In the Central Governorate, a civil defense rescue crew evacuated residents from a three-story residential building after part of it collapsed opposite the Al-Ahli Club in Nuseirat camp, with no injuries recorded.

In Gaza City, civil defense crews rescued a young man after the roof of the Badawi family home collapsed on him on Street 8.

In this context, civil defense in Gaza warned of its inability to confront the repercussions of the weather depression, demanding the provision of the necessary capabilities and equipment to enable its crews to deal with the damage and rescue citizens amid continued stormy weather conditions.
