Authorities have confirmed that two people have died at the scene of the collapsed three-story building at Avenor in North Kaneshie, in the Greater Accra Region.
After hours of intense search and rescue operations, emergency personnel were able to retrieve the bodies of two victims from the debris.
Two more people were safely pulled from the rubble and taken to a hospital for care.
A significant emergency reaction including members of the Ghana National Fire Service, the National Disaster Management Organization (NADMO), and other security and disaster management agencies was prompted by the building’s collapse on Sunday, June 7, at Avenor in North Kaneshie.
Concerned that more victims might be buried beneath the rubble, rescue crews searched for survivors all day.
According to the most recent information, two people have died as a result of the tragedy, while the two injured survivors are still being treated.
Since investigations are anticipated to start, authorities have not yet disclosed the cause of the fall.
Following several structural failures that have been documented nationwide in recent years, the tragedy has rekindled worries about building safety and adherence to construction requirements.
