Several people are feared dead after a building collapsed in the Lebanese capital Beirut.
Reports indicate at least five people were crushed to death.
Many were trapped under large chunks of concrete as debris fell onto a street in a crowded commercial district on Saturday.
Crushed
Witnesses said several construction workers who had been restoring part of the building in the Corniche al-Mazraa neighbourhood were crushed.
The number of casualties is not immediately clear.
Television stations reported at least five people had been killed, but there was no confirmation of that toll.
Ambulances rushed to the scene, where Lebanese television showed rescue workers struggling to pull people from beneath jagged chunks of debris.
