A multistory building collapse in Pakistan's port city of Karachi kills at least 6 people
- On the morning of Friday, July 4, 2025, a five-storey building in Karachi’s Lyari neighbourhood collapsed, resulting in at least seven fatalities and leaving eight others wounded.
- The collapse occurred about 20 minutes after residents reported cracks, and up to 100 people were living in the worn-out building known for poor safety standards.
- Rescue workers, including the Edhi welfare foundation, and local residents worked to retrieve seven bodies and eight injured people while searching for up to 10 more trapped victims.
- Karachi Mayor Murtaza Wahab reported the number of casualties, while President Asif Ali Zardari called for a prompt investigation and urged the implementation of measures to avoid similar tragedies in the future.
- This collapse highlights recurrent risks in Karachi due to lax building regulations, shoddy construction, overcrowding, and ageing infrastructure in the city’s poorer neighbourhoods.
