Gaza launches emergency plan to evacuate 255 buildings at risk of collapse
Authorities in the Gaza Strip have launched an urgent emergency plan to evacuate and demolish 255 buildings identified as being at high risk of collapse. Led by the Ministry of Public Works and Housing, the initiative is being coordinated with various government departments and international organizations, including the United Nations.
The plan includes issuing formal evacuation notices to residents, placing warning signs around hazardous structures, and working to secure temporary shelter for displaced families. This measure follows recent incidents of structural failure, including a building collapse in Gaza City that resulted in 21 fatalities and dozens of rescues.
Officials noted significant obstacles to the plan, such as a severe shortage of funding, heavy machinery, and safe land for relocation. Additionally, some residents have reportedly refused to leave damaged buildings due to a lack of alternative housing. An Egyptian committee has offered to assist by providing transportation to move families from high-risk areas to designated shelters.
