The bodies of victims, which include a father and son, were retrieved from under the rubble.

The search is still underway to rescue any other victims who may be trapped under the rubble, the source added.

An order to remove the ramshackle three-storey building had already been issued, as it was deemed likely to collapse, a source at Ismailia governorate said.

The relevant prosecution has started an investigation into the incident.

Egypt has recently experienced a number of building disasters resulting in injuries and fatalities to residents, often due to old or compromised structures.

Four building collapses were reported in July in Cairo, Alexandria, and Beheira, claiming the lives of 19 people in total.

The deadliest of these killed 13 people in Cairo on 17 July.

Before this, in June, a 13-storey building collapsed in Alexandria, killing 10 people.

Tyranny of Life

Every year during Ashara, we are encouraged by Aqa Moula to break away from our worldly activities and dedicate ourselves to the remembrance of the sacrifice of Imam Husain in the fields of Karbala.

Imam Hussain did stand up to the forces of tyranny and sought to raise an army to overthrow Yazeed. Even when he was ambushed in Karbala and offered the option to give his Be’at to Yazeed for his freedom, he stood steadfast for his principles and decided he will not give in to the cop-out.

Perhaps in his call to have us put aside everything to attend Ashara, Moula is teaching us to break away from the tyranny of life.

The tyranny that compels us to follow a life routine.

The tyranny that compels us to follow the dictates of society.

The tyranny that forces us to persist in chasing that dollar for our next meal.

The tyranny that would have us believe that the best life is a life of want rather than a life of need.

The tyranny that wants us to believe that the only education is the one to be had in school and that we must run on the track given and cross all the manufactured hurdles it places for us.

The tyranny that makes us blind to the fact that we have only one life and we should be free to live it how we will. 

The tyranny that would give us a guarantee of a tomorrow for which we should give up our today.

Perhaps if we did take away this lesson from Ashara, we would gain freedom from real tyranny.
