CAIRO (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 17th September, 2022) The death toll from Tuesday's building collapse in the Jordanian capital city of Amman has risen to 13, the kingdom's Public Security Directorate said in a statement, received by Sputnik.
"The 13th body has been pulled out from the rubble of the collapsed building, 14 injured," the directorate said in the statement.
The authority added that the clearance of the rubble continues.
According to the Ammon news agency, one woman remains under the rubble.
Rescuers have identified three locations where she might be. The rescue operation has no end date yet.
The building collapsed on Tuesday in Amman's Jabal al-Weibdeh district.
