"The Depression Deepens Gaza's Wounds".. Martyrs and Injuries in Collapses of Buildings Destroyed by "Israeli" Bombing

The strong winds and heavy rains were not just a weather condition in the Gaza Strip; they turned into a new "death machine" that brought down buildings and walls that were already tottering from previous occupation bombing. Monday evening witnessed a series of deadly collapses in various areas west of the city.

Medical and field sources reported the martyrdom of an elderly man and a woman, and the injury of 3 others, due to the collapse of part of the "Organza Hall" building near the chalets west of Gaza City. The martyrs are:

The elderly Muhammad Al-Abd Muhammad Hammouda (72 years old).

Ms. Doaa Mansour Hosni Hammouda (40 years old).

In a related context, citizen Wafaa Sharir (33 years old) died after the collapse of a damaged house wall in the vicinity of "Al-Thawra Street", after the dilapidated columns could not withstand the force of the wind.

A number of citizens were also injured in Al-Shati Camp (west) due to the collapse of another residential building. The injured were transferred to "Al-Shifa Hospital" for treatment, amidst warnings of the danger of remaining inside homes whose walls were cracked by previous raids.

Civil defense teams are issuing distress calls to citizens about the necessity of evacuating damaged buildings, as rainwater increases the weight of dilapidated roofs, while winds act as a catalyst for the collapse of suspended concrete blocks, threatening additional disasters as the depression continues.
