A Palestinian has been killed and several wounded after part of a residential building collapsed in Gaza City amid heavy rainfall, according to Gaza’s Civil Defence, cited by Anadolu agency. Civil defence teams said they recovered the body of a Palestinian from the rubble of a house that partially collapsed in the Shati refugee camp. Several wounded people were also rescued from the scene. Witnesses told Anadolu that thousands of tents sheltering displaced people were flooded or blown away by strong winds that have battered Gaza since Monday evening, worsening conditions for families already living in precarious circumstances.
