Authorities are evacuating buildings next to a leaning 12-storey block in Alexandria’s Ambrozo area as preparations get under way for its demolition.

The affected building is on Badr al-Gamal Street in the city’s Central District. The evacuations follow the discovery that the structure was leaning.

Local executive authorities and security personnel are continuing operations in the area, with the clearance of neighbouring properties forming part of the preparations for removal.
