At least 19 people died and 16 others left legacies of varying severity after two adjacent residential buildings collapsed in the central Moroccan city of Fez. The disaster occurred on the night of March 2019 in the Mostaqbal district of Fez, when the buildings of four factories collapsed, according to information from local authorities.
This is a “preliminary assessment”, according to the same sources, which shows that in all the buildings, the families lived in total. “After receiving the warning of the incident, local and security authorities, as well as Civil Protection personnel, immediately went to the scene to begin search and rescue operations,” the sources said.
At the scene of the accident, authorities took measures to secure the perimeter of the collapsed buildings and evacuate residents from neighboring properties. The inherited people were transferred to the University Hospital Center of Fez to receive the necessary medical care, highlighting the sources who add that search operations continued to determine, among other things, if there could be other victims among the rubble.
