In Gaza, a building housing 100 people suddenly collapsed this morning, killing at least 20 people, including women and children. The building was reportedly unstable due to damage from Israeli strikes. Dozens more are trapped in the rubble as the death toll is expected to rise.

This comes as Israeli airstrikes killed at least five Palestinians, including two children and a Hamas armed commander, on Tuesday, according to Palestinian health officials. This is the brother of a Palestinian man who was killed in an Israeli strike.

Ahmed al-Batsh: “The killing, arrogance and brutality against children and innocent people are still ongoing. This enemy, which has no regard for humanity, international conscience, children or women, continues killing. We are here appealing to the entire world. We appeal to the United States, the sponsor, and we appeal to the mediators. We hold them responsible for what is happening to the Palestinian people.”
