An 80-year old man was killed, and three people are trapped due to a partial building collapse<\/a> on Jerusalem’s Keren Kayemet Boulevard on Monday, United Hatzalah said.<\/p>\n

According to the Fire and Rescue Authority, a second-floor balcony in the 3-story building collapsed onto a ground-floor restaurant<\/a>, causing significant damage.<\/p>\n

Two trapped victims were rescued early on by civilians in the area, the authority added, and two of the three still trapped are known to be conscious.<\/p>\n

“A man in his 80s was rescued by fire crews while lifeless,” a United Hatzalah paramedic said. “Unfortunately, he was pronounced dead at the scene due to the severe injuries he suffered.”<\/p>\n

First responders are on scene providing assistance to several conscious victims, according to United Hatzalah, with MDA describing them as in mild condition.<\/p>\n

“We arrived at the scene in large numbers and noticed a number of frightened injured people coming towards us, and a man trapped among all the rubble in critical condition,” MDA paramedics said. “While the firefighters were carrying out the rescue operations, we began providing medical treatment to a woman aged about 80 and two young men aged about 16 and 17 in light condition with abrasions on their bodies, who were evacuated to the hospital<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

United Hatzalah said they provided assistance to four elderly victims with minor injuries, as well as several suffering from anxiety-related symptoms.<\/p>\n

Israel Police<\/a> officers are assisting rescue teams on site and have asked the public to avoid the area, noting that roads leading to the collapse site have been blocked.<\/p>\n

Police said they are investigating the incident.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An 80-year old man was killed, and three people are trapped due to a partial building collapse on…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":947690,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[2],"tags":[21883,99,40554,47043,267770,50,42921],"class_list":["post-947689","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-news","tag-building-collapse","tag-israel","tag-israel-police","tag-jerusalem","tag-kkl","tag-news","tag-united-hatzalah"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116953048218370685","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/947689","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=947689"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/947689\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/947690"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=947689"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=947689"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=947689"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
