“While we were eating suhoor, we were surprised by the building running towards us from windows and balconies, so terrified that we left our building immediately,” said one of the tenants of the building opposite the leaning building in Alexandria’s Azarita neighbourhood. The authorities forced those buildings’ tenants to leave and were relocated until handling the crisis. The authorities on Saturday were able to start removing the upper floors of the building, and the removing process is still ongoing. From his part, Governor of Alexandria Mohamed Sultan said that 48 housing units have been provided in the El Amiriya cooperative housing project as a permanent shelter to those affected by the leaning building. Heba Mohamed, one of the tenants of the leaning building, told Daily News Egypt that the shelters they were moved to are not suitable for living.
