FIVE DEAD AND 14 INJURED IN KARACHI BUILDING COLLAPSE|巴基斯坦貧民區樓倒 至少5死14傷

A dilapidated, three-story building in a poorer neighborhood of Pakistan's port city of Karachi collapsed before dawn on Tuesday, killing at least five people and injuring 14. The death toll could climb as rescuers are still working and pulling more bodies from under the rubble. TV footage showed a teenage boy crying for help as residents struggled with their hands to remove a concrete pillar that had fallen on his leg. It was not until several hours into the collapse, heavy machinery came to the scene and joined the rescue efforts. The dead included a man and his son, who were sleeping when the building collapsed, which could have been caused due to the age of the building and poor construction, according to initial reports.
