Entrance, Road Leading to Daycare in Hadath Collapse

The entrance of a daycare building in Hadath in Beirut's southern suburbs collapsed on Tuesday due to digging work in a construction site adjoining it, the state-run National News Agency reported.

Civil defense teams evacuated the horrified children and employees from the three-storey building, which is located near the Philippines embassy.

The entrance of the daycare and the road leading to it completely collapsed due to the digging.

Work at the construction site was also suspended.

Only material damage was caused.

The competent authorities are scanning the building to prevent its possible collapse.
