11 killed in high-rise collapse in Egypt

None

An apartment tower under construction collapsed on adjacent buildings in the Mediterranean city of Alexandria, killing 11 people, Egypt's Health Ministry said Sunday.

 

The ministry said five other people were injured and that search teams were searching for survivors buried under rubble. The 11-story building in the poor Alexandria neighborhood of al-Gomrouk collapsed late Saturday onto three adjacent buildings, reducing much of the structures to rubble. All the dead and injured lived in the three smaller buildings. (AP)
