Gaza Building Collapse Kills at Least 12, Dozens Missing

A residential building in Gaza City collapsed on September 16, 2026, killing at least 12 people, including five children, and leaving dozens missing. The building, which had been damaged by earlier Israeli bombardment, was housing displaced families at the time. Rescue teams from Gaza's Civil Defense recovered 16 survivors from the rubble, but ongoing difficulties are hampering the search for those still trapped. The death toll has risen steadily as more bodies are found.
