The death toll from the collapse of two residential buildings in the northern Lebanese city of Tripoli has risen to 15, state media say.
Eight people were rescued alive, Civil Defence director general Imad Khreiss said.
Khreiss said the two adjoining buildings were home to 22 residents, but local municipal authorities warned people could still be missing. Social media footage captured the moment the buildings collapsed, with one side giving way at the lower floors before both structures fell almost simultaneously. END
