## Resource

A Gaza building housing displaced Palestinians collapses, killing multiple people amid ongoing rubble search efforts, as damaged infrastructure underscores deadly living conditions. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia intercepts and destroys a drone allegedly targeting Mecca, sparking global condemnation and Houthi denials despite their Iranian backing. Oil tankers show slight recovery through southern routes with U.S. support, even as Saudi Arabia’s East-West pipeline remains damaged — yet the kingdom’s flexible oil infrastructure helps maintain critical flows amid rising regional tensions.
