The death toll from a 10-story building collapse in Cairo, Egypt, has risen to 25, Egyptian state newspaper Al-Ahram reported on Sunday.

The newspaper said the number of injured in Saturday's incident in the capital's eastern Gesr Suez district rose to 75.

Local media reported four of the building's floors had been added illegally.

The governorate said that it has formed a technical committee to inspect nearby buildings to determine if they were affected by the collapse.
