On the first day of Ramadan comes the sad news that a house has collapsed in Fez. The building off the Tala'a Kbira is believed to have been in the process of renovation. Two people are reported to have been killed - a builder and his workman.
According to our commentator, David "This is very sad news indeed. But just to clarify what happened, these craftsman were restoring a house, Dar Ouazzani on Derb il Horra. They were repairing a roof that had some beams with rotten ends. Some of the beams broke and the craftsmen fell and died. This incident shows the importance of supporting beams from below while during restoration, which I assume didn't happen in this case, and also the importance of having insurance when doing restoration, which I'm afraid most people don't do"
Over the last few years there have been several deaths as a result of building collapses. One, at a mosque, killed twelve and more recently a pregnant woman was killed by a falling wall.
