官方消息称，土耳其伊斯坦布尔一栋七层楼高的建筑发生部分坍塌，造成至少两人死亡。
At least two people have been killed after a seven-storey building in Turkiye’s Istanbul partially collapsed, officials said.
周四，当局表示，救援人员正试图营救至少两名据信被困在废墟中的人员。目前坍塌原因尚不清楚，调查正在进行中。
Emergency crews were trying to reach at least two people who were believed to be trapped, authorities said on Thursday. The cause of the collapse was not immediately known, and an investigation was under way.
该楼的三层底层，包括一楼的商店，于黎明前在伊斯坦布尔亚洲一侧的马尔特佩区发生坍塌。伊斯坦布尔被博斯普鲁斯海峡分为亚洲和欧洲两部分。
The building’s three lower floors, including a ground-floor shop, caved in before dawn in the district of Maltepe, on the Asian side of Istanbul, a city that is bisected by the Bosporus Strait.
土耳其消防队员与救援人员在马尔特佩区的坍塌现场搜寻幸存者。高层住户已安全疏散，搜救队也从废墟中救出了八人。

据伊斯坦布尔省府通报，救援人员已找到两具遗体，并正努力营救另外两名可能仍被困在楼内的人员。
The rescuers recovered two bodies and were trying to reach two people still believed to be inside, according to the Istanbul governor’s office.
此前，伊斯坦布尔省长达武特·古尔称，救援人员与一名被困在废墟中的6岁儿童取得了联系，但目前尚不清楚该儿童是否在获救者之列。他还警告称，该楼存在进一步坍塌的风险，给救援工作带来困难。出于安全考虑，周边建筑也已被疏散。
Earlier, Istanbul Governor Davut Gul said rescuers had made contact with a 6-year-old trapped in the rubble. It was not immediately clear if the child was among those rescued. He warned that the building was at risk of further collapse, hampering the rescue efforts. Nearby buildings were also evacuated for safety, the governor said.
目前，伊斯坦布尔及土耳其其他地区正在推行城市改造计划，旨在用更安全的住宅取代那些老旧且抗震能力较差的建筑物。
Istanbul and other parts of Turkiye are undergoing an urban transformation programme that aims to replace old and earthquake-prone buildings with safer housing.
