Rescuers search for survivors of building collapse
Rescuers aided by bright spotlights worked into the night tonight, searching for survivors and clearing rubble from the collapse of an eight-storey building that killed at least 15 people, the latest tragedy to mar the annual gathering of millions of Muslims in Islam’s holiest city.
The Interior Ministry said 15 people were killed and 39 were injured in the collapse of Lulu’at al-Khair, a multi-purpose building that housed a number of shops and restaurants and was rented out as a hostel during pilgrimages.
