The collapse of a building killed ten people today, including a child, in the city of Aleppo in northern Syria, while searches continue for those trapped under the rubble, according to the official Syrian News Agency (SANA).

Cases of the collapse of residential buildings are frequent in Aleppo, whether as a result of illegal construction without solid foundations or as a result of building cracks due to the violent battles in the city.

“SANA” reported that ten people, including a child, died as a result of the collapse of a five-storey residential building in Sheikh Maqsoud neighborhood.

The cause of the collapse is due to water leakage into the foundations of the building, and the rescue, civil defense and firefighting teams are still searching for missing persons under the rubble, according to “AFP”.
