Another building has collapsed in Beirut this month,
the Daily Star has reported, with blame being pointed at heavy rain in the Lebanese capital.
The structurally-unsound tower toppled earlier this
week in the district of Kesrouan and authorities say no injuries have been reported
following the incident.
On March 9, seven people were injured when a structure
located in the Tabarja Beach complex also fell.
According to the interior minister Marwan Charbel, the
first building was owned by a construction firm which had not been registered with the government since 1970.
Lebanon has witnessed a spate of crumbling buildings this year, some of them deadly. A school in Bhaneen village, north Lebanon, fell down killing three, while a five-story building in the neighborhood of Fassouh, Ashrafieh collapsed, leaving 27 dead and 12 injured.
