A Mansoura resident from the area confirmed the incident to a local publication saying, "A part of the structure collapsed on to a three-storeyed structure right beside it. The whole area has been cordoned off and no one is allowed to enter the buildings."
The Ministry of Interior tweeted that the Civil Defence teams and other relevant authorities were able to save the lives of 7 people as a result of the fall of a four-storey residential building in the Bin Derham area (central Doha), while one person who was inside the building died.
