Building Collapse in Egypt: 4 Dead, 5 Injured

At least four people were killed and five others wounded on Wednesday in a building collapse in Egypt's capital Cairo, the state-run Ahram newspaper reported.

All residents in the collapsed four-storey building, located in north Cairo's Hadaeq El-Qubbah district, belong to the same family.

The wounded have been transferred to a hospital for treatment, said the report, adding that the exact number of people trapped beneath the rubble is still unknown.

The public prosecutor has ordered an immediate investigation into the accident.

In July, an old building collapsed in the same area, killing 13 people.
