Six people, including three boys, were killed and at least 20 injured when an apartment building collapsed on Friday in the Nile Delta city of Damanhur, north-west of Cairo.
Officials said the four-storey block fell down after a gas cylinder exploded.
Two adjacent buildings suffered structural damage, they said.
Authorities released the names of the six fatalities, who included three boys; Youssef Ahmed Amin, 10, Yassin Ashraf Mahdi, 5, and Yassim Ahmed Mohammed, 3. Yassin's father, 49-year-old Ashraf Mahdi, was also killed.
Building collapses are common in Egypt, where poor construction and shoddy building maintenance are common, especially in shanty towns, low-income neighbourhoods and rural areas.
Last month, six people were killed in an apartment block collapse in the southern city of Assuit.

Libya's Gold
UN Panel of Experts found regime secretly sold a fifth of the country's gold reserves.
The panel’s 2017 report followed a trail to West Africa where large sums of cash and gold were hidden by Abdullah Al Senussi, Qaddafi’s former intelligence chief, in 2011.
Cases filled with cash that was said to amount to $560m in 100 dollar notes, that was kept by a group of Libyans in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso.
A second stash was said to have been held in Accra, Ghana, inside boxes at the local offices of an international human rights organisation based in France.
