The central operations room in Cairo governorate received a notification at 3 a.m. today about the collapse of a building consisting of a basement, a ground floor and 9 repeating floors on Al-Baridha street in the Gesr area. The Suez in eastern Egypt.
“Fathi” doesn’t know exactly what happened at that time. All he lived through in successive seconds was the blackout, the sound of a thud, and the dense dust engulfing the neighborhood, before running to the site of the collapsed property and was stunned by the sight.
“Fathi” saw bodies camouflaged with the rubble: “We passed over the building while it was on the ground, and I saw the corpses in the columns lying on it.” But what scared him the most was: “A man found a pillar in the body of his body, and we tried to remove it. It was divided into two texts. “
