LOVIN TRAGEDY

A Building Collapse in Sayeda Zeinab Has Left Two Dead and Several Injured!

• Late last night, the residents of the Sayeda Zeinab area in Cairo were shaken by the news of a building collapse on Mohamed Enaayat Street.

• The incident has left two people dead and several others injured. The National Emergency and Public Safety Network in Cairo swiftly responded to the crisis, launching an immediate rescue operation.
  
  What Happened?
  

• Around 1 AM, the National Emergency and Public Safety Network received a report of a building collapse in the Sayeda Zeinab area.

• Dr. Ibrahim Saber, the Governor of Cairo, rushed to the scene accompanied by civil defense teams, emergency medical responders, and security personnel. Together, they began working tirelessly to rescue those trapped under the rubble.

  
  Casualties and Rescue Efforts
  

• Rescue teams managed to pull four survivors from the wreckage, but tragically, two people were found dead.

• This morning, the efforts continued as teams successfully extracted a woman and two young men.

• While the woman was barely conscious, the two men were unresponsive when they were found. All three survivors were quickly taken to the hospital for medical care.

• In addition to these survivors, local residents have reported that there could still be children and other families trapped inside the building. Rescue teams are continuing their efforts to ensure that no one else is left under the debris.
  
   What’s Next?
  

• In light of the collapse, Governor Dr. Ibrahim Saber ordered the evacuation of the building next to the one that collapsed as a precaution. Residents were moved out of the neighboring building until it is confirmed to be safe.

• Additionally, an engineering team has been dispatched to inspect both the collapsed structure and nearby properties to assess their stability.

• The authorities are closely monitoring the situation, and efforts will continue to ensure the safety of the area while investigations into the cause of the collapse begin.
