Video footage showed rescue crews continuing their search for bodies and survivors amidst the rubble of the multi-story structure in Gaza City's Tal al-Hawa area. Neighbors revealed that ten families had been residing in the apartments, despite repeated warnings that they were structurally unsafe. The Hamas-run Civil Defence rescue service initially labored with limited resources due to stringent Israeli restrictions on equipment entering Gaza. However, they were eventually granted access to some heavy machinery. On Tuesday, Israeli air strikes in Gaza claimed the lives of at least five Palestinians, comprising two children and a Hamas commander, as reported by health officials and Hamas sources.

Additionally, the British charity Medical Aid for Palestinians reported a patient's death by an Israeli drone strike at a health center they support in Jabalia, northern Gaza.",
