KARACHI, (Pakistan): The death toll from the collapse of a residential building in the Pakistani mega-city of Karachi rose to 21 on Saturday (July 5), after rescue teams worked for a second day in search of survivors.
Authorities said the building had been declared unsafe and eviction notices were sent to occupants over three years, but landlords and some residents told AFP they had not received them.
