At least eight people were killed on Monday when a five-story building in Cairo collapsed, a security officer at the scene and state media said.
The building in the Hadayek el Kobba neighborhood north of central Cairo was in a densely built area of informal housing, where rescue workers searched through the rubble for survivors.
Building collapses are common in Egypt due to poor construction standards in many areas.
