The death toll from a residential building collapse in Fez has tragically risen to 10, with five members of a single-family among the deceased. The latest victim, a 65-year-old dad, died in hospital on Friday.
Dr. Rachid Ahmouten, director of the Al-Ghassani Regional Hospital, confirmed the man succumbed to severe injuries sustained when the building in the Hay El Hassani neighborhood collapsed late Thursday night. He had been in intensive care.
This man’s death brings the family’s loss to five, as four of his children (two sons and two daughters) had already perished under the rubble. His wife, who survived the collapse, is among six people still receiving medical care. The other injured include three children and two other adults.
Beyond the father and his four children, the other five fatalities were three women and two men, all of whom died at the scene.
The multi-story building reportedly had an administrative eviction order issued years ago due to visible cracks and safety concerns.
