This video footage and these images show rescue operations after a two-storey building in Saviano in the Naples province of southern Italy collapsed on Sunday, killing four members of the same family, local authorities have confirmed.

The victims included a mother, her six-year-old son, and her four-year-old daughter. The father and an infant son were rescued from the rubble and taken to hospital. The lifeless body of the grandmother, the last of the missing, was recovered by firefighter rescue teams.

Once the rescue operations were completed, the firefighters' intervention continued with the securing of the affected area.

The collapse is thought to have been caused by a gas explosion, according to initial reports from firefighters.

Local media reported that the explosion likely occurred on the second floor of the building, causing it to collapse and bury the ground floor in rubble.

Witnesses said the explosion was felt throughout the community of around 15,000 people.
Rescue operations continue as authorities investigate the cause of the tragic incident.
