Tragedy in Fez: Eleven Dead After Building Collapse

Thu, May 21, 2026(46d ago)World

A devastating building collapse in the Moroccan city of Fez has left at least 11 people dead and six others injured. The four-story structure crumbled overnight, prompting an urgent, ongoing search-and-rescue operation as teams and local residents scour the debris for survivors who may still be trapped beneath the ruins. In response to the disaster, authorities have launched an official investigation into the cause, while residents in nearby buildings have been evacuated as a preventative measure against further structural failures.

This incident marks another grim chapter for the historic city, which has struggled with aging infrastructure in recent times. Fez, a former capital with deep historical roots, witnessed a similar tragedy just last December when two buildings fell, claiming 22 lives. With housing officials previously reporting that nearly 40,000 structures across Morocco are at high risk of collapse, these recurring disasters have sparked growing concerns regarding building safety and urban maintenance throughout the country.
