NextImg:Argentina: Ten-storey hotel building collapses with 'people trapped inside'

A 10-storey hotel building has collapsed in the coastal city of Villa Gesell in Argentina’s Buenos Aires province.

Between seven and nine people, including workers from a construction site allegedly operating without municipal permits at the Dubrovnik hotel, were believed to be inside at the time.

Rescue teams are currently removing the debris to free those trapped, the Villa Gesell authorities noted, adding that the municipality had halted construction work at the site in August of this year.

Emergency services, including firefighters and police, are working on the scene, a statement released by Villa Gesell municipality said.
