Five people died on Saturday, February 10, in Fez, after a house collapsed in the Zkak Remmane district, near Place Bab El Guissa in the old medina.

The crumbling dwelling fell into ruins in two parts at around 5 p.m., following heavy rain and strong winds.

Local authorities and the Protection Civile rushed to the scene to pull the victims from the rubble.

Such tragedies unfortunately remain a recurring occurrence in the old Medina, despite considerable rebuilding ressources allocated to threatened buildings every year.
