Rabat, December 11 (Xinhua) — The death toll from the collapse of two residential buildings in the Moroccan city of Fez has risen to 22, the state prosecutor said on Wednesday, revising the previously reported figure of 19.
According to the prosecutor, the incident occurred late Tuesday evening in the Al-Mustaqbal neighborhood, when an unoccupied building collapsed, triggering the collapse of a neighboring four-story building. A traditional aqiqah (birth sacrifice) ceremony was being held in the second building.
