residential area

The multi-storey building that was hit is located in a residential area.

Some streets and residential areas were wrecked as a result of flash-flooding, such as this one in Letur, southwest of Valencia.

It is one of the most densely populated residential areas in all of Lebanon – a place of narrow streets and alleyways, where buildings seem to jostle for available space.

The ministry said a number of people were still under the rubble after a residential area was hit.

The Hamas-run government media office said the bombing hit "crowded" residential areas, and that 73 people had been killed - a number also reported by Gaza's civil defence agency.
