Rescue workers using bulldozers and cranes lifted debris of a collapsed 11-story building Tuesday as hope faded that more survivors could be found. At least 14 people — mostly firefighters and police responding to a blaze in the building — were dead.
Building collapses are common in Egypt and are often caused by shoddy construction or the unauthorized building of extra stories.
The last such collapse was May 4, when a seven-story apartment block in Cairo collapsed, killing at least seven people.
