Eyewitnesses recounted the moments of the collapse of a two-storey house in the Bahri district of the Gomrok neighborhood in Alexandria, confirming that the collapse occurred at around twelve o’clock on Thursday followingnoon.
“Nesma Essam,” a resident of the same street, said: “We heard a solid crash, we ran, and found the house fell and one died… It was a difficult scene, and his wife was screaming, and they pulled his body out from under the rubble.”
While another named “Fatima Sobhi” added: “The deceased does not live here.. By chance, he was at home eating cats, and suddenly it collapsed on him.. May God have mercy on him.”
