At least 21 people were killed and 45 others wounded after a building collapsed in western Gaza City early Wednesday, Middle East Eye reported, citing Gaza's civil defence. The casualty toll represents the latest update from emergency officials responding to the incident.

The collapse occurred in the densely populated western section of Gaza City, a recurrent site of structural failures amid the territory's ongoing humanitarian crisis and infrastructure strain.
