A massive rescue operation began when the four-story residential building toppled over on Tuesday in, one of Amman’s oldest neighborhoods. The site of the tragedy is in the capital’s central Jabal al-Weibdeh district, known for its vibrant cultural life and home to a large number of expatriates.

“Rescue teams were able to extract one dead person on Saturday, the death toll now stands at 14,” said Amer al-Sartawi, a public security spokesman.
