Gomel Apartment Ceiling Collapses After Heavy Rain

Heavy rain causes apartment ceiling collapse in Gomel. A ceiling in an apartment building at 2 Novopolesskaya Street in Gomel caved in yesterday due to heavy rainfall. "It was like a waterfall," said the resident, who filmed the incident. The video shows water gushing from the ceiling, damaging furniture and belongings. The city's stormwater drainage system was overwhelmed, leading to the failure of a poorly secured pipe. This is not the first time this has happened; the resident reported a similar incident about 7-10 years ago. The incident highlights the need for improved infrastructure and maintenance to prevent future occurrences during heavy rainfall.
