The number of victims of the collapse of a residential building in Fez has risen to at least 15, including two children. Rescuers are searching in the ruins and the balance may continue to grow.
The death toll from the collapse of a residential building in the Moroccan city of Fez has risen to at least 15, including two children, and five other people were injured. A source from the local prosecutor’s office said this to the AFP agency on Friday, writes TASR.
- A five-story residential building from the 1980s collapsed in the Moroccan city of Fez.
- At least fifteen people have died in the current building collapse in Fez.
- Among the victims of the tragedy are two children and several injured adults.
It is still unclear how many people were inside the five-story building, built in the 1980s, at the time of the incident. Officially, the number of victims has so far been set at nine.
