The death toll from a building collapse in the Moroccan city of Fes has risen to 15 people, according to a source from the public prosecutor’s office.
The five-storey building collapsed on Thursday, also injuring five people, while two children were among the dead.
“The building collapse also injured five people, while two children were among those killed,” the source told AFP.
According to AFP, officials said it remains unclear how many people were inside the building at the time of the incident. Authorities had earlier put the death toll at nine before it was revised upward.
This is not the first time such a tragedy has occurred in Fes. In December last year, two building collapses in the city killed 22 people in total. Investigations are ongoing to determine the cause of the latest collapse, as concerns grow over building safety in the city.
Recall, in May 2025, another residential building collapsed in Fes, leaving nine people dead.
