The two four-storey residential buildings that came down early on Wednesday morning contained eight families, state media reports, citing local officials. At least 22 people have been killed and a further 16 injured after two buildings collapsed in the Moroccan city of Fez. Residents of nearby buildings have been evacuated as a preventative measure, state media reports. The country's housing minister Adib Ben Ibrahim said in January that around 13,700 buildings nationwide were under imminent risk of collapse. Nine were killed when a condemned building collapsed in a different neighbourhood of Fez in May.
