Nine people trapped in Israeli building site collapse: rescue services
A parking garage under construction collapsed in Tel Aviv on Monday (05/08) and about nine people were believed to be trapped under the debris, rescue services said.
Some 10 people were treated for injuries.
A fire brigade spokesman said part of the three-storey structure had initially collapsed, causing a crane to fall and bring down more of the partially-completed parking building.
The incident occurred in the Tel Aviv neighborhood of Ramat Hahayal adjacent to a hospital and buildings housing high-tech offices and restaurants.
Several of the nine people believed trapped in the structure had made contact with rescuers, the Magen David Adom ambulance service said.
