At least 21 people, including six children, were killed when a war-damaged residential building collapsed in Gaza City on Wednesday , according to local rescue officials.
At least 14 others were injured, and dozens are feared trapped beneath the rubble.
With heavy machinery in short supply after months of conflict, rescue workers have been digging by hand in search of survivors.
Authorities say multiple families were sheltering in the building, and the death toll is expected to rise as recovery efforts continue.
