Two people were killed and 3 others injured, Saturday, when parts of an old property collapsed in the Bacchus area, east of the Egyptian city of Alexandria, according to the Sky News Arabia correspondent.
The East Alexandria neighborhood operations room received a notification that parts of the estate No. 146 on Mustafa Kamel Street had fallen, as the district officials and department officers, accompanied by the ambulance and civil protection forces, moved to the site of the report.
On examination, it was found that the property is old and consists of 3 floors, while parts of its roof wall collapsed on two balconies on the first and second floors on the main road.
The accident resulted in the death of two people and the injury of 3 others, who were taken to hospital for treatment.
The property was evacuated by the civil protection men and the Sharq neighborhood, and barriers were put in place to protect passers-by.
Over the past years, the coastal city has witnessed several similar incidents, amid calls for tightening safety measures in buildings and implementing decisions to remove dilapidated buildings.
