At least two buildings collapsed on Friday, killing a minimum of 12 people, according to local health officials. Storms have also flooded and washed away tents sheltering displaced families, causing deaths from exposure. Israel and Hamas agreed to a ceasefire in October after two years of intense fighting, but humanitarian agencies say aid entering Gaza remains severely limited, leaving nearly the entire population homeless.<\/p>\n<p>Gaza Civil Defence spokesman Mahmoud Basal urged the international community to provide mobile homes and caravans instead of tents. \u201cIf people are not protected today, we will witness more victims \u2014 children, women, entire families \u2014 inside these buildings,\u201d he said.<br \/>\nMohammad Nassar said the six-storey building where his family was staying, previously damaged by Israeli strikes, collapsed on Friday. The family had earlier been forced out of a tent by flooding during bad weather.<br \/>\n\u201cI saw my son\u2019s hand sticking out from under the ground,\u201d Nassar said. \u201cMy son was under the rubble and we were unable to get him out.\u201d His 15-year-old son and 18-year-old daughter were killed.<br \/>\nGaza authorities estimate around 9,000 bodies remain buried under rubble from Israeli bombing, but say they lack heavy machinery to speed up recovery. On Monday, rescue workers retrieved the remains of about 20 people from a building bombed in December 2023, where around 60 people, including 30 children, were believed to be sheltering.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gaza Gaza authorities warned on Monday that more war-damaged buildings could collapse as heavy rain batters the devastated enclave, hampering efforts to recover bodies still trapped under rubble.
