Gaza Ministry Demands Evacuation of War-Damaged Buildings Facing Imminent Collapse

Gaza Herald — Gaza’s Ministry of Public Works and Housing issued a final deadline of November 10 for residents to immediately vacate four residential buildings in Gaza City that face imminent structural collapse following heavy damage sustained in previous Israeli occupation airstrikes.

Municipal officials warned that failure to comply would necessitate forced administrative evacuations to prevent catastrophic loss of life among civilian families seeking refuge in unstable ruins.

Specialized engineering and technical teams, working in direct coordination with municipal authorities, conducted comprehensive structural assessments to determine risk levels and establish emergency safety protocols for each damaged facility.

The municipal directive highlights the severe post-bombardment housing crisis across Gaza City, where thousands of displaced families remain forced to shelter in structurally compromised edifices due to the total blockade on construction and rehabilitation materials enforced by Israeli occupation forces.

Public works officials confirmed ongoing operational coordination with the Ministry of Interior and local civil defense units to manage the evacuation process, aiming to mitigate the severe humanitarian and social fallout for affected households while attempting to secure alternative emergency shelter options where resources permit.
