Government media office director Dr. Ismail al-Thawabta characterized the disappearance of people beneath rubble in destroyed buildings across Gaza as an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe, Shehab Wire reported. He called for immediate international intervention to address the crisis and warned of cascading consequences stemming from the situation.
The missing persons trapped under collapsed structures throughout the Gaza Strip represent a mounting challenge for Palestinian authorities.
