In a high-stakes rescue operation, Egyptian Committee teams, working in close coordination with Civil Defense and medical services, successfully extricated a woman and child alive from the rubble of Abu Mahmoud Lubbad’s home in Sheikh Radwan neighborhood, following the building’s catastrophic collapse on its residents.
The extrication operation unfolded after several hours of relentless search and rescue efforts. Specialized teams immediately commenced response activities upon receiving the emergency alert, employing all available technical equipment to reach individuals trapped beneath the debris. The teams navigated significant logistical and safety challenges posed by the extensive structural collapse and hazardous site conditions, demonstrating high operational efficiency and coordination under extreme circumstances.
Rescue teams successfully extricated the woman and child alive, providing on-site first aid before transferring them for medical care, while five other civilians remain trapped under the collapsed building.
Search and rescue operations continue amid extremely challenging field conditions, including extensive rubble accumulation, confined spaces, and the risk of additional structural collapse, requiring heightened caution to ensure the safety of both rescue teams and trapped civilians.
Authorities confirmed that rescue teams are operating at full capacity in a race against time, stressing the importance of continued coordination among humanitarian and medical services to ensure rapid and effective response.
This intervention reflects the Egyptian Committee’s unwavering humanitarian commitment, as it continues frontline operations in coordination with local partners, against the backdrop of an increasingly severe humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip and mounting risks to civilian populations.
