A tragic building collapse in central Cairo has resulted in the deaths of at least eight people and injuries to three others.
The six-story residential building, constructed in the 1960s, crumbled on Tuesday, trapping residents under the rubble.
Rescue teams are working tirelessly to recover bodies and search for survivors.
Authorities have attributed the collapse to the building’s dilapidated condition and the failure to comply with restoration orders issued in 1993.
This incident highlights the urgent need for stricter building regulations and improved maintenance standards in Cairo, where many older buildings are in a state of disrepair.
The city’s rapid urbanization and population growth have exacerbated the problem, leading to overcrowding and unsafe living conditions.
