(SOUNDBITE) (English) DIRECTOR OF INTERNATIONAL RELATION OFFICE AT MAGEN DAVID ADOM, YONATAN YAGODOVSKY, SAYING: “It’s a construction site of an underground big parking lot that the floors have collapsed down from the ground level underground. About 25 construction workers were at the sight. Twenty one of them were already rescued, most of them are lightly to moderately injured. Three that were trapped are already dug out and went out from the rubbles by Magen David Adom paramedics. They are evacuated to four hospitals in the Tel Aviv area, there are still three construction workers at the sight under ground under the rubbles. Our paramedics are next to them with other rescue workers of the firefighters and pretty soon we hope that we will be able to extract them out of the collapsed building and continue the medical treatment to them.”
