In Gaza, a building already broken by war finally gave way, taking with it twenty-one lives and nearly taking forty-five more. The families inside were not caught in a battle — they were caught in the long aftermath of one, sheltering in the only walls they had left. This collapse is a reminder that the violence of war does not end when the strike does; it lingers in the damaged stone, waiting for the moment the weight becomes too much to hold.
