Seven killed in building Collapse in Cairo
Cairo - Seven people were killed and one injured when a house collapsed in Cairo before dawn on Wednesday, Egyptian security sources said.
Eight labourers were living in old one-storey house in the low- income neighbourhood of Darb el-Ahmar. The men were asleep when the house collapsed, the sources said.
Orders for the demolition of the house were never executed, according to the sources.
The accident came less than two weeks after the collapse of a building in the city's crowded neighbourhood of Shobra which left seven dead, including three children.
Cairo's governor, Abdelazim Wazir, has noted that most of the buildings that have collapsed in the city, did so after demolition orders were issued.
Demolitions are often stalled or prevented by the owners of the dilapidated buildings, the governor said.
