GAZA, (PIC)-- A Palestinian man was killed and five others were wounded in the preliminary report on the collapse of a building in Gaza city that was bombed by Israeli occupation forces during their 22-day war on Gaza.
Col. Yousef Al-Zahhar, the head of the civil defense squad, said in a press release on Monday that the building is owned by Hassan Al-Jaro and was bombed during the war.
He added that 8 pillars in the 4-storey building were destroyed but its occupants used to live in the undestroyed section of the building, which caved in today.
He said that medical and civil squad teams were digging the rubble in search of more possible victims.
Zahhar appealed for the people of the world with a conscience to help expedite an end to the siege of Gaza so that residents can rebuild destroyed homes and to avoid recurrence of such tragedies in which innocent people are killed under the debris because of the housing problem.

He said that many old and/or bombed buildings were cracked and their collapse would lead to a human tragedy.
