CAIRO, Sept. 6 (Xinhua) -- At least four people were killed and five others wounded on Wednesday in a building collapse in Egypt's capital Cairo, the state-run Ahram newspaper reported.
All residents in the collapsed four-storey building, located in north Cairo's Hadaeq El-Qubbah district, belong to the same family.
