The collapse occurred on Friday in the Janga neighborhood on the outskirts of Recife, the capital of the northeastern state of Pernambuco. The apartment building collapsed during heavy rains that struck the region while many residents were still asleep. According to a statement from civil defense, three people managed to survive the collapse, whose cause remains unclear. Recife, a coastal city with around 1.5 million residents, has been grappling with heavy rainfall in recent days.
