Cairo, December 25 (Xinhua) — The death toll from the collapse of a five-story residential building in Egypt's Giza province, south of Cairo, has risen to eight, the Egyptian state-run Al-Ahram news website reported on Thursday.
According to a statement posted on the website, rescue teams found the body of the last missing person after two days of continuous searching and clearing rubble.
The collapse occurred on the evening of December 23 in the densely populated Embaba neighborhood of Giza City. The incident damaged several nearby buildings, whose residents were evacuated as a precaution until a safety assessment was conducted.
In a statement published on the official social media page of the Giza governorate, authorities said that the rubble removal work was carried out manually, as the narrow street on which the house was located did not allow the use of heavy equipment.
A special engineering commission has been appointed to investigate the cause of the collapse, which will examine, among other things, the possibility of unauthorized reconstruction of the building and violations of building codes. –0–
