Seven-year-old boy killed in building collapse

A seven-year-old boy was killed and at least 17 other people were injured when a six-story apartment building collapsed today in the Egyptian coastal city of Alexandria.

The apartment building fell onto a wall housing a school next door, where at least 20 women were standing, waiting to collect students who were finishing exams. Some of them were believed to still be trapped under the piles of concrete and metal.
