Thirty people were hemmed in Al-Saoura's porch in Zgharta’s Fouar, anxious to see the bride's zaffe, when the porch suddenly caved in.
According to neighboring residents, the collapse was definitely caused by overcrowding the four meter porch.
12 people, including women and children, suffered minor cuts and severe bone fractures. They were then transported to Majdlaya’s healthcare center and Our Lady of Zgharta hospital for treatment.
