Rescue teams reached the building site and are trying to the stranded people. Water leakage into the structure's pillars had weakened it and caused the whole building to cave in, according to a police report.
The building is located in the Sheikh Maqsoud neighborhood in Syria's second-largest city.
Syria's Ministry of Interior said that a residential building consisting of five floors collapsed in a well-known street in Aleppo. Seven families are believed to live there.
