Nasr⁣ City Building Collapse: Investigation Underway ​After Fatal Accident

Egyptian prosecutors have launched an extensive ⁣investigation into the collapse of a four-story property in ‍Nasr City, east of Cairo, which resulted in the loss of four lives and the destruction​ of‍ five cars.

Preliminary investigations revealed that the property owner had⁢ passed away two months prior ⁢to the incident, and his son had​ been constructing a dental center on the first floor. The son had hired workers to remove columns,⁣ which ultimately led to the collapse of the entire property.

According to initial sources,​ demolition workers were among the victims, and a search‍ for missing persons under the rubble is ongoing. The property ⁤was initially licensed in 1972, with a subsequent​ expansion licensed in⁣ 1978.

Civil protection teams in‌ Cairo are working to remove rubble from the site in​ search of​ victims and injured ‌individuals. The operation aims to⁣ determine if anyone is trapped under the debris.

The Cairo Security Directorate received a notification from the rescue operation ⁣room, reporting the collapse of⁤ a residential​ property on‌ Nabil Al-Waqqad Street, at the ‌intersection of Al-Noja Street⁢ in Nasr City. ⁤Emergency services were dispatched to the scene to provide assistance ​and manage traffic.
