Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Two people have been killed and at least 13 injured, including children, following the collapse of a balcony in the Scampia suburb of Naples in Italy, the fire brigade said on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The concrete and iron parts killed a 29-year-old man and a 35-year-old woman who lived in the social housing estate, the fire brigade said.<\/p>\n

Several children are among the at least 13 injured, media reports said.<\/p>\n

Two of them, aged two and four are in a life-threatening condition.<\/p>\n

The accident occurred late on Monday evening shortly before 11 pm (2100 GMT).<\/p>\n

Many residents were outside due to the high temperatures.<\/p>\n

According to the emergency services, a balcony on the fourth floor of the building collapsed, bringing down two other balconies with it.<\/p>\n

There were panic-like scenes in the building.<\/p>\n

According to the emergency services, several of the injured are in critical condition.<\/p>\n

At least seven children between the ages of two and eight are among the injured.<\/p>\n

It remains unclear why the balcony could no longer bear the load.<\/p>\n

More than 800 residents had to leave their homes as a precaution and spend the next few hours outside.<\/p>\n

The suburb of Scampia is considered a stronghold of Mafia families.<\/p>\n

Gang crime and drug dealing are widespread.<\/p>\n

Many of the buildings in the neighbourhood were built in the 1960s and 1970s.<\/p>\n

According to Italian media reports, the house in which the accident occurred was built in 1975.<\/p>\n
