<p>The health ministry said in a statement that the collapse of the six-story building in Cairo’s western neighbourhood of Waili also injured three people, who were hospitalised.</p>

Cairo’s governor, Ibrahim Saber, ordered the evacuation of neighbouring houses as a precautionary measure, according to a statement from the governor’s office.</p>
<p>It was not immediately clear what caused the building, which was constructed in the 1960s, to collapse. The governor’s office said that prosecutors were investigating.</p>
<p>Building collapses are common in Egypt, where shoddy construction and a lack of maintenance are widespread in shantytowns, poor city neighbourhoods and rural areas.</p>
<p>The government has tried to crack down on illegal building in recent years after decades of lax enforcement.</p>
<p>ADVERTISEMENT<br />
Authorities are also building new cities and neighbourhoods to rehouse those living in at-risk areas.</p>
<p>But many Egyptian cities still contain entire areas of unlicensed apartment buildings and shantytowns that do not follow building codes and regulations.</p>
