The collapsed buildings in the Sbata neighborhood are some 13 kilometers (8 miles) from another Casablanca district where several buildings collapsed in July 2014, killing 23 people.
Residents of the area in Morocco’s economic capital have long complained about the poor condition of buildings and lack of maintenance regulations.
