Two Buildings Collapse in Morocco, Killing 19

A deadly building collapse killed at least 19 people in the Moroccan city of Fes early Wednesday. Sixteen others were injured, according to the state news agency. The two buildings fell in the early morning hours. Rescue operations are ongoing. The tragedy has renewed concerns over poor housing conditions and public safety in older urban areas of Morocco. Such collapses are often linked to aging structures and a lack of maintenance.
