A parking lot collapsed into a giant sinkhole at the Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem on Monday afternoon, a mere hour after being opened to the public for the first time, Israel Police reported.
No injuries were reported, though eight fire and search-and-rescue crews are still searching for people who may be trapped underneath the rubble, Jerusalem Post reports.
Security footage shows three cars falling straight into the sinkhole. It is still unknown if there were people inside, though police later added that the likelihood of people getting stuck is low.
Due to concerns over another collapse, the area has been declared a danger zone, and the building has been cordoned off. Additionally, traffic has been cleared out and blocked in the area around the hospital.

May Hashem protect every Jew in Eretz Israel , however is interesting to see this in this week of this sedra parshas Korach .
For a long while now, as worldwide immorality, atheism, etc. is being not only condoned, but even glorified! – so, where is the brimstone or the like, that is replete in the Chumash when evildoers do not change their ways? If you want to say that the virus should be a wake-up call, well, the world still does not seem to get it. So, maybe now he is upping the ante. Just this Erev Rosh Chodesh, I was walking with someone, and was proceeding to tell a story that was, although not, al pi din, a problem, but something out… Read more »
