12 Wounded in Zgharta Balcony Collapse

Twelve people were injured on Saturday when the balcony of a house in the northern Zgharta district collapsed, the state-run National News Agency reported.

NNA said that around 30 people had gathered on the four-meter-square balcony in the town of al-Fuwwar to cheer a bride when it gave way under their weight.

Twelve of them, mostly women and children, were wounded, said the agency.

They were taken to two separate hospitals in the region, NNA added.
