Fez – The city of Fez was shaken this Wednesday afternoon by a tragic incident in which a woman in her forties died after a horrific fall from a malfunctioning elevator in a building located in the heart of the city.
According to a reliable source for “Fes News” who was present at the scene, the victim was visiting an acquaintance in the “Kable Oulassa Amn Fes” building, a six-story structure.
Local sources revealed that the building had experienced frequent power outages since Tuesday without prior warning. The heartbreaking accident occurred around 2:30 PM, immediately after the electricity returned following a sudden blackout.
Detailing the tragic event, the same sources explained that the woman, who was with three other individuals inside the elevator, attempted to exit after the power was restored. Due to the darkness and the alleged failure to adhere to safety standards, the woman reportedly placed her foot in the gap between the elevator floor and the surrounding shaft. She fell tragically, plummeting to the ground and dying instantly at the scene.
Residents of the building and elevator users have expressed their outrage, holding the real estate developer who constructed the building fully responsible for this tragic incident. They allege that the developer did not comply with the safety regulations stipulated for the construction and installation of elevators, particularly regarding the provision of necessary protective barriers to prevent such accidents.
Residents also placed part of the blame on the entity responsible for supplying electricity to the building, arguing that it failed to notify residents of the repeated power outages, which contributed to the confusion and chaos upon the sudden restoration of power.
This devastating accident has caused deep shock and sorrow among the building’s residents and the neighborhood. They are demanding that the concerned authorities launch an urgent and comprehensive investigation into the circumstances of this tragedy, identify those responsible, and take the necessary legal measures against them to ensure the safety of citizens and prevent the recurrence of such tragic incidents in the future.
