The women died from their injuries The incident sparked wide reactions amid shock among local residents

The Douma area in rural Damascus witnessed a tragic incident, as three women from the same family lost their lives on Friday when their house collapsed, causing grief and sorrow among the residents.

Syrian media reported that civil defense teams rushed to the scene to try to rescue the victims, who were transported to the emergency hospital in Douma. Despite the medical staff's efforts, the severe injuries they sustained were stronger than the rescue attempts, and they succumbed to their wounds.

House collapse incidents continue in Syrian regions and provinces affected by the war over the past years. Some estimates indicate that cold weather and rainfall play a significant role in the deterioration of cracked houses, highlighting the urgent need to rehabilitate infrastructure to prevent further human losses.

In a similar incident, Syrian civil defense teams rescued an elderly man from under the rubble of his house in the Zaid area of Aleppo governorate on January 11, without sustaining any injuries, emphasizing the importance of rapid response and intervention in such accidents.
