Rescue teams of the Jordanian Civil Defense carry a resident of a four-story residential building that collapsed, killing several people and wounding others, in the Jordanian capital of Amman, on Tuesday Sept. 13, 2022.
It remained unclear what caused the collapse of the four-story residential building in Amman on Tuesday. Ten people were wounded. Rescue teams have been searching for survivors and on Wednesday saved an infant. The number of people still missing is unclear.
A spokesman of the official public security directorate said the death toll rose to 10 with the discovery of the body Thursday.
Authorities have charged three people with multiple counts of causing death and harm in the building collapse. State media identified the suspects as one of the building's owners, its maintenance contractor and its maintenance technician.
The building was located in Jabal al-Weibdeh, an older district of the Jordanian capital that is popular among wealthier residents and expatriates but also includes some poorer areas.
