“A building collapses in Greece, killing a 19-year-old Albanian man”
A young Albanian man, just 19 years old, has died in a tragic accident in Greece, while he was working on a construction site in Imerovigli. Greek media report that the ceiling of a building collapsed on him, killing him instantly.
The incident has brought into focus the precarious working conditions in the construction sector, especially for immigrants, who often work in difficult conditions and without sufficient safety measures.
Greek authorities have immediately launched investigations to clarify the full circumstances of the accident, while the owner of the facility and the person in charge of the works have been arrested. According to reports, the event is not related to any seismic activity, despite recent earthquakes in Greece.
This tragedy adds to concerns about workplace safety and heightens the need for stricter protection measures for workers, especially migrant workers, who often face dangerous and unsafe conditions.
