Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine: ▪We mourn the martyrs Ashraf Dahlan, Shadi Abu Atiya and Sami Baroud, employees of the Islamic University security staff, who were killed while on duty, and extend our deepest condolences to their families, the university administration, and their female and male colleagues. ▪The Israeli occupation’s targeting of the university with two airstrikes, coinciding with the start of regular in-person classes, represents an attack on efforts toward social recovery in the Gaza Strip, the restoration of its educational and national institutions, and the resumption of the educational process. ▪We call on academic and educational institutions around the world to stand in solidarity with the universities of the Gaza Strip, which are facing a systematic Israeli targeting that affects educational institutions and the conditions for their continuity, as part of the comprehensive war of extermination on the Palestinian presence in the Strip. ▪We call on free people of the world to escalate solidarity action and pressure governments to take serious positions and measures that put an end to the occupation’s crimes, the war of extermination, and the plans of ethnic cleansing against the Palestinian people.

▪The General Directorate of Civil Defense in the Gaza Strip reported that a six-story residential building collapsed in Gaza City, leaving dozens of people under the rubble, including children, women, and the elderly.

▪The General Directorate of Civil Defense in the Gaza Strip said the building was housing about one hundred people, and that Civil Defense teams, in cooperation with the Egyptian Committee, the International Committee of the Red Cross, and Gaza Municipality, managed to rescue 16 people initially, while 14 bodies, including 6 children, have been recovered so far, with missing persons still under the rubble. ▪These developments place an urgent humanitarian and legal responsibility on the international community and the guarantor states of the ceasefire, as the continued presence of those trapped under the rubble and the shortage of equipment pose a direct threat to the right to life and require immediate measures to reach and rescue them. ▪According to the statement, there are dozens of cracked buildings, and the approach of winter is worsening the risks amid large numbers of displaced people in fragile shelters. This requires urgent treatment of buildings at risk of collapse and the provision of the equipment and machinery needed to respond to collapse and rescue situations. ▪The message emphasizes that the protection of civilians is not limited to a ceasefire, but also includes ensuring continued protection, rescue, and relief when they are exposed to danger, and that the right to life requires practical measures to save people missing under the rubble, regardless of where they are located. ▪We call on the international community, the guarantor states of the ceasefire, and the relevant international and humanitarian bodies to work urgently to facilitate the entry of heavy rescue equipment and machinery, enable Civil Defense teams to carry out their duties without obstacles, provide technical and logistical support to address cracked buildings and collapse cases, and take the measures necessary to protect civilians and displaced people from risks during the winter. ▪Dealing with this disaster cannot be delayed, and priority must remain on rescuing those who can be rescued from under the rubble. Protecting civilians remains a responsibility that requires immediate practical measures to prevent further loss of life.

Islamic Resistance Movement - Hamas:

▪The humanitarian tragedy witnessed in Gaza City with the collapse of the Al-Saadah building on its residents and the displaced people sheltering there, and the fall of a number of victims, with about one hundred citizens still missing under the rubble; reveals a new chapter in the catastrophic humanitarian consequences of the war and destruction left by the occupation in the Gaza Strip. ▪We hold the occupation responsible for this disaster, as it is a direct extension of the war of extermination in the Strip; the occupation's crimes have not been limited to shelling civilians, destroying their homes, and committing massacres, but continue through the consequences of the collapse of damaged buildings that citizens had taken refuge in seeking shelter. ▪The severe shortage of rubble-removal machinery and rescue equipment needed to search for those trapped under the Al-Saadah building threatens the loss of more civilian lives as the critical hours pass, which requires urgent international action to bring in heavy machinery and rescue equipment and enable crews to reach those trapped and save those still alive. ▪We warn of a broader humanitarian disaster in light of the Civil Defense's announcement that there are about two thousand dilapidated, inhabited buildings threatened with collapse, which exposes the lives of thousands of citizens to a real and ongoing danger. ▪The movement's leadership has repeatedly, during its previous meetings and contacts with mediators and international parties, called for the urgent need to act to stop the humanitarian disaster caused by the occupation, whose repercussions continue in the Gaza Strip. ▪We call on the mediators, the U.S. administration, and the relevant international parties to assume their responsibilities and work immediately to remove the restrictions that prevent the entry of rescue equipment and the necessary machinery, and to secure the means of safe shelter for our people who were forced to live in damaged buildings threatened with collapse.
