A five-story apartment building has collapsed in the Egyptian capital of Cairo, leaving at least nine people dead, authorities said, as rescuers at the scene searched through the rubble, APA reports citing MENA news agency.
Rescue teams recovered at least nine bodies from under the rubble of the building in Cairo’s neighbourhood of Hadaeq el-Qubbah, roughly 3.2km (2 miles) from the city’s centre.
Four survivors were also taken to hospital and authorities evacuated a neighbouring apartment building.
Egypt’s Ministry of Social Solidarity said it would give 60,000 Egyptian pounds ($1939) to the families of the nine victims killed in the incident.
The ministry also said it would deliver aid to the injured and was monitoring the damage to nearby properties.
