At least four people have died in the south of France in two building collapses, officials have said.

The body of a woman is found under the debris in the city this evening. Earlier the bodies of two men and another woman were recovered by the 15 meter battery of rubble.

The buildings on Rue d'Aubagne, narrow street shopping, collapsed suddenly yesterday morning.

Rescuers worked throughout the night to look for victims in the dilapidated apartment blocks.

Last night Interior Minister Christophe Castaner said to have been invited to attend the meeting.

The first victim – a man – was pulled from the wreckage today, prosecutor Xavier Tarabeux said, adding that he needed to be identified.

Google Maps images taken in recent months showed the two collapsed buildings, in the working-clbad neighborhood of Noailles, had had large visible cracks in their facades.

One of them had been condemned, with its windows boarded, was well-secured and in theory unoccupied, officials said.
