One dead and others feared trapped in the disastrous collapse of the Dubrovnik hotel during unauthorized renovations.
In a devastating event in Argentina's coastal city of Villa Gesell, the Dubrovnik hotel crumbled under unclear circumstances, resulting in the death of one elderly man and leaving several others trapped in the debris. Early reports indicate that the 10-storey hotel was undergoing renovations when its structure failed, with estimates of up to 15 individuals present inside at the time of the collapse.
Local authorities have launched an immediate response, deploying rescue teams to extract those still believed to be trapped beneath the wreckage. Eyewitness accounts and media reports confirm a chaotic scene as emergency responders work diligently to navigate through the debris.
Regrettably, this incident has also highlighted serious lapses in building regulations. According to municipal officials, renovation work had been halted back in August due to the absence of proper permits, raising questions regarding the oversight that allowed such unregulated construction to continue.
As Villa Gesell mourns the loss, residents and authorities alike are calling for a thorough investigation into the events leading up to the collapse, aiming to prevent such tragedies from occurring in the future.
