Palestinians in Gaza City are bracing for additional casualties from structural collapses, citing last week's incident that killed 21 people when a building fell, Zeteo reported. The disaster has intensified concerns that survivors of initial bombing may perish under rubble as the territory faces critical shortages of rescue equipment and medical supplies.
Aid restrictions have left Gaza unable to adequately respond to such emergencies, residents said. They warn that without Israel allowing sufficient humanitarian assistance into the enclave, the death toll from secondary disasters will mount alongside direct casualties from military operations.
