    16 Die Alexandria Building Collapse

    Sixteen people, including two children, were killed and 17 injured when a building collapsed in Egypt's Mediterranean city of Alexandria.

    Several people were still trapped under the rubble of the six-storey building, which collapsed on Tuesday, and rescue teams were looking for survivors.

    The building in a residential neighbourhood of eastern Alexandria was originally three floors high but another three storeys were added illegally.
