Building Collapses in Karachi, Killing 7 and Injuring 8
At least seven people died and eight were injured after a residential building collapsed in the Baghdadi area of Lyari, Karachi.
People who saw it happen said it sounded like an earthquake. They heard people screaming as they tried to run to safety. One resident said the building had become dangerous over the past two years, which is why they had moved out.
The six-story building suddenly fell, trapping many people under the rubble.
Emergency teams quickly arrived to help. So far, five people — including three women — have been rescued and taken to the hospital for treatment.
According to the Chhipa Welfare spokesperson, five bodies have been recovered, and around 20 to 25 people might still be trapped under the debris.
Rescue workers said that a nearby building was also damaged because of the collapse.
CM Murad Ali Shah Responds
Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah has taken notice of the incident. He has asked for a detailed report on how the building collapsed.
He told the rescue teams to speed up their efforts and make sure all injured people get proper medical care.
He also asked the Sindh Building Control Authority (SBCA) to give him an update on other old and unsafe buildings in the city.
