Six-storey building collapses in China leaving at least four dead

At least four people have been killed after a workers’ dormitory in the Chinese province of Jiangxi collapsed on Monday (22 November) state media reports.

The six-story building in the province’s Ganjiang New District partially collapsed with rescue crews searching the rubble for any survivors.

The building housed workers who had originally worked at a local pharmaceutical plant, but was of low quality and constructed mainly out of prefabricated slabs, according to state broadcaster CCTV.
