At least ten people died in the collapse of a building in Aleppo, Syria.
The local media reported it, specifying that among the victims there are
"six women, three children, and a man, while a child and a woman were recovered from under the rubble and taken to the hospital".
The building, located in an area designed to be illegal,
collapsed due to "a lack of engineering foundations",
said the head of the city council of Aleppo, Maad Medlaji.
The building was located in an area where there were illegal houses and which was destroyed "because of terrorism", he added, referring to the civil war in the country.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights
said the collapsed building was in a neighborhood "previously bombed with rockets and barrel bombs".
Seven neighboring buildings were evacuated for fear that they too might collapse.
