GAZA, December 21, 2025 (WAFA) — Three women from the same family were killed and two others went missing on Sunday morning after their home collapsed in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood of Gaza City, according to medical sources.

The sources identified the victims as Eman Lubbad, Jana Akram Lubbad, and Sundus Muhammad Lubbad, while the missing were the couple Mohammad Saeed Lubbad and Rania Mohammad Lubbad. The collapse was caused by structural damage resulting from ongoing Israeli shelling, which caused the building to crumble on its residents.

Dozens of homes have collapsed recently due to direct damage from continuous shelling on Gaza since October 2023. The situation has worsened with recent severe weather, resulting in casualties, injuries, and significant material losses.

Residents, however, refuse to leave their damaged and collapsing homes, citing the catastrophic conditions and the growing hardships caused by the ongoing airstrikes and severe weather, which have affected thousands of homes across the Gaza Strip.
