Magen David Adom also offered assistance and an MDA team will fly to Ghana on Thursday. The mission will include doctors, paramedics and emergency medical technicians who will set up a field hospital to assist Accra's own medical personnel.
According to Ghana authorities, the shopping mall was closed at the time of the collapse, with only mall personnel and maintenance workers on the site.
Accra authorities are investigating the case. The reason for the building's collapse is still unknown.
