Jordanian teams rescued one person on Wednesday as they work to rescue other survivors from a building collapse in the capital Amman.
As he writes Associated Press, at least five people have been killed and 10 others still remain missing, believed to be under the rubble.
Amer Sartawi, a security spokesman, said eight people were also injured and one survivor was rescued from the rubble on Wednesday.
The four-story structure collapsed on Tuesday for reasons that remain unclear. The country's prime minister has ordered an investigation. The building was located in Jabal al-Weibdeh, an older neighborhood of the Jordanian capital that is popular among wealthier residents and expatriates but also includes some poorer areas.
Jordan is a close Western ally that has long been seen as a bastion of stability in the volatile Middle East.
