Ammon News - At least 19 people were killed and 16 injured early on Wednesday after two buildings collapsed in Fez, one of Morocco's oldest cities, the state news media reported, saying the blocks had shown signs of neglect for some time.

Local authorities in the Fez prefecture reported two adjacent four-storey buildings had collapsed overnight, the state news agency said.
The buildings were inhabited by eight families and were in the Al-Mustaqbal neighborhood, it reported.

As soon as they were informed of the incident, local authorities, security services, and civil protection units moved to the scene and immediately began search and rescue operations, it said.
