Gaza's municipal union called Wednesday for immediate international intervention to provide heavy machinery and removal equipment to rescue people trapped under the rubble of a residential building that collapsed on approximately 100 residents in the industrial zone, Shehab Wire reported.
The union urged swift deployment of specialized equipment needed to extract survivors from the debris. The building collapse occurred in a densely populated area, with rescue operations hampered by the scale of the structural failure and limited local resources available for such operations.
