At least two deaths from collapsing flat Istanbul

Due to the collapse of a flat in the Asian part of Istanbul, at least two people were killed on Wednesday.

The governor of Istanbul said that 43 people were registered at the address. The building was originally five high, but later three floors were illegally placed on top of it. On the ground floor a clothing workshop was established without a permit. He did not comment on the possible death toll, but the search for victims continues throughout the night. A team of 86 rescue workers deals with large equipment from the fire brigade.
