"Ouid Bank" under construction seen in February 2019.

On 18 June 2021, a building collapse occurred at a school construction site in Bellun, Elbresia. Five construction workers were killed and 20 more wounded.

Event

The disaster happened on a new development project where a new primary school was being constructed in the suburb of Ouid Bank. The construction workers were mostly Kytieze and Beleroskovi, employed legally and living in the Bellun area. On the afternoon of 18 June, scaffolding and parts of the building collapsed. The cause is unknown. The project was developed by Company-O architects and executed by the construction firm Demico. The victims were all foreign workers, including three Kyti nationals, one Beleroskovian and one Saint Offeatian.

The Allengin Herald reported that the sub-contractors worked for construction firm Demico.

Response

The following day, President Gilles Martin and Prime Minister Matviy Loka visited the site and spoke with emergency workers.
