Building collapse in Lebanon

At least six people were killed and seven others were ⁠injured when two adjoining buildings collapsed in ⁠the Lebanese city of Tripoli on ‍Sunday, with more trapped under the rubble.



Abdel Hamid Karimeh, speaking at a press conference in Tripoli, did not say how many people ⁠might still be trapped under debris in the northern city's Bab al-Tabbaneh neighbourhood.



Earlier, the head ⁠of Lebanon's civil defence rescue service said the collapsed buildings had 22 residents.



Rescue workers and residents had so far recovered three people alive from under the rubble.
