Three people are receiving treatment at the Edward Francis Small Teaching Hospital after they survived a collapsed building in Banjul.

It happened at the Leman and Anglesea Streets area of Banjul.

And it’s been described as “tragedy” as many called for measures be taken to deter it happening in the future.

The building’s collapse comes as scores of Gambians calls on the government to help rebuild Banjul – as the city is occupied by old buildings that are said to have been existing since the colonial era.
