> A multi-storey building in Gaza City’s Tal al-Hawa area collapsed, killing at least 12 people, including children, while dozens remain missing beneath the rubble. Locals said 10 families had lived there despite warnings it was unsafe. Hamas-run Civil Defence rescuers initially worked empty-handed because of tight Israeli restrictions on equipment entering Gaza, but later borrowed heavy machinery.
