Unconfirmed reports indicate that a 71-year-old woman tragically lost her life this Friday evening following the partial collapse of a residential building in the Sidi Moussa Nejjarine neighborhood of the old Medina of Fes.
According to preliminary information, the elderly victim was caught beneath the rubble when part of the building’s roof gave way unexpectedly. The exact circumstances of the incident remain unclear at this time.
Local authorities and civil protection teams rushed to the scene immediately after the collapse. An initial investigation has been launched to determine the cause and circumstances of the structural failure, pending official confirmation from relevant authorities.
The incident has reignited public concern over the precarious state of aging buildings in the historic heart of Fes. Civic organizations have long warned of the dangers posed by neglected or decaying structures, particularly in the absence of regular maintenance or following episodes of heavy rainfall.
