25 dead, 25 injured in Cairo building collapse

A building that collapsed in the working class eastern district of Gisr al-Sweiss in Cairo has so far claimed 25 lives. Another 25 were injured and moved to hospital; 18 among them have been treated and discharged whereas seven remain in hospital.

According to security sources, efforts are ongoing to reclaim bodies from the rubble of the 10-storey building which fell down yesterday 27 March. The 10 storeys included four that had been added illegally to what was originally a six- storey building.

Cairo governorate sources said that a technical committee has been charged with inspecting nearby buildings to determine if any was affected by the collapse.

It is not uncommon for buildings to collapse in Egypt because of violations of building regulations and illegal building extensions under lax government oversight.

Watani started as an Egyptian weekly Sunday newspaper published in Cairo. The word Watani is Arabic for “My Homeland”. The paper was founded in 1958 by the prominent Copt Antoun Sidhom (1915 – 1995), who strove for the establishment of a civil, democratic society in Egypt, where all Egyptians would enjoy full citizenship rights regardless of their religious denomination. To this day when Watani is published as a weekly paper and an online news site, the objective remains the same. Those in charge of Watani view this role as a patriotic all-Egyptian vocation. Special attention is given to shedding light on Coptic culture and tradition as authentically Egyptian, this being a topic largely disregarded or little-understood by Egypt’s media. Watani is deeply dedicated to offer its readers high quality, extensive, objective, credible and well-researched media coverage, with special focus on Coptic issues, culture, heritage, and contribution to Egyptian society.
