Palestinian family left homeless after house collapses in storm-hit Gaza

On December 21, 2025, a Palestinian family of 25 in Gaza City was left homeless after their war-damaged house collapsed due to a winter storm. The collapse resulted in the death of a neighbor and injuries to others. The house, already weakened, succumbed to the severe weather conditions. This incident is one of at least 17 house collapses reported across Gaza since the beginning of winter. These collapses are attributed to buildings weakened by previous conflicts giving way under harsh weather. The affected family is now displaced as a result of the incident.
