A portion of the Shaare Zedek Medical Centre car park collapsed into a giant sinkhole in Jerusalem on Monday and could continue to expand further.

Emergency workers and police officers were seen working on the cordoned off area as pavement pieces continued to cave in on-site, leaving vehicles buried within.

The cause of the collapse is not fully known yet, but according to local media, the sinkhole could be the result from a route at the entrance of Jerusalem being built, with tunnels being placed underneath the hospital and parking lot.

No injuries were reported so far, although it is currently unclear if anyone was inside the cars that have fallen into the sinkhole.
