Building collapse kills nine in Morocco's Fez
Some of those hurt were 'seriously injured when a multi-story residential building in the Al-Hassani district' came down late Thursday, a spokesperson told AFP.
A search was under way for any other casualties. The spokesperson said neighboring houses have been evacuated as a precaution.
The building 'had already been listed as being at risk of collapsing, and tenants had received an evacuation order', authorities said.
In February last year, five people died in a building collapse in Fez's old town.
