Memorial shroud with 20,000 Gaza child victims displayed at UN Church Center

Multiple residential buildings in Gaza, previously damaged by Israeli strikes, have collapsed, resulting in at least 21 confirmed fatalities, including children, and dozens missing. The UN Human Rights Chief alleges these incidents, alongside the recovery of hundreds of bodies from rubble, raise war crime concerns, demanding Israeli cooperation for investigations. The immediate cause of collapses is unconfirmed but attributed to prior structural damage and lack of heavy debris removal equipment.
