Rescue teams have retrieved one more body from the rubble of the collapsed building at Avenor in North Kaneshie, located in the Greater Accra Region, bringing the confirmed death toll to two.
The tragic incident, which occurred on Sunday, June 7, has left families and the surrounding community in distress as emergency responders continue efforts to locate and rescue individuals who may still be trapped beneath the debris.
In addition to the confirmed fatalities, two other victims have been successfully rescued from the collapsed structure and were quickly transported to the Ridge Hospital in Accra for urgent medical attention.
The collapsed building, which reportedly housed both residential and commercial occupants, came down suddenly, prompting panic in the densely populated area.
The structure’s failure triggered an immediate response from emergency services, including personnel from disaster response units, security agencies, and medical teams who have since been working tirelessly at the scene.
Search and rescue operations remain ongoing, with responders carefully combing through the debris in an effort to ensure that no additional victims are left trapped.
Heavy-duty equipment and manual rescue methods are being deployed to remove layers of rubble while maintaining caution to prevent further injury or collapse of unstable sections.
