Five said killed in house collapse in northern Gaza’s Beit Lahiya

Five people are killed and others wounded by the collapse of a house in Beit Lahiya, in the northern Gaza Strip, Al Jazeera reports, citing a source in the emergency services.

Hamas authorities had warned that the heavy rain over the last few days could lead to the collapse of buildings damaged by Israel.

Over 20 percent of the buildings in Gaza that were not fully destroyed in the war were still damaged in some way, according to the United Nations.
