In the city of Gaza, a residential building has been attacked, where ten people are reported to have been killed. At the same time, it is estimated that 20 people are buried under the rubble.

Umm Walid al-Khour survived the attack and tells AFP that "everyone was lying down and sleeping with their children".

Those who survived cried out for help, but no one came... Most of the dead are children, she says.

Earlier, civil defense spokesperson Mahmud Bassa said that "over 30 people" are feared to be buried under the rubble. He also said that the team "cannot reach them due to the lack of necessary equipment".

Israel has not commented on the attacks.

Gaza is ruled by the terrorist-stamped Hamas, whose large-scale attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, triggered the ongoing Gaza war.
