Gaza apartment block collapses, killing eight

Rescuers are searching for dozens of people missing after an apartment block in Gaza collapsed, killing eight people, including children. The six-storey building, located in the Tal al-Hawa area, was home to people displaced by the war with Israel and collapsed onto nearby residences and tents.

According to Gaza's civil defence agency, the building had sustained structural damage from Israeli strikes. The agency's spokesman, Mahmoud Basal, reported that the bodies of eight people, including children, and 15 injured individuals have been recovered from the rubble.

More than 60 people are still missing, according to Basal. The incident occurred in the war-torn enclave, with authorities continuing to assess the situation.
