A 56-year-old Palestinian woman suffered from medium injuries after the ceiling at her apartment in Ajman collapsed on her while she was praying.

Her son, 27, was also injured in the incident and both were taken to hospital for treatment before they were checked in at a local hotel by the Community Police.

"The woman was praying when the ceiling collapsed... she and her son suffered from medium injuries after cement blocks fell on them," said Ajman Community Police chief Captain Mohammed Al Suwaidi, who visited the woman at her hotel room.

Quoted by the Arabic language daily Emarat Alyoum, he said Ajman Municipality had been asked to examine the building to check if it is safe for tenants.
