The residents of an apartment complex in The Hague where a partial building collapse took place on Saturday morning were not going to be allowed to return to their homes at least until Sunday. "It is forbidden for anyone, except for people with a valid interest such as residents and emergency services, to enter the area between the Reigersbergenweg, the Boekweitkamp, ​​the VUC sports fields and the Kleine Loo," the city stated. Many others were believed to be trapped under the rubble During a press conference at around 3:15 p.m., Van Zanen said anyone still trapped under the rubble was likely to be dead. To support displaced residents, the municipality has set up temporary shelters at the former district office on Loudonstraat 95, where staff from the Red Cross and the city are providing immediate assistance.
