Funerals for the victims of the minaret collapse were held on Saturday

The centuries-old minaret（尖塔） fell as hundreds of worshippers were attending Friday prayers at a mosque² in the central city of Meknes.

Rescue workers recovered the last body from the rubble⁸（碎石，碎砖） on Saturday.

There has been public criticism of the apparent lack of maintenance（维护，保持） of the minaret.

Following the urgent appraisal⁹（评价，评估） of old mosques ordered by King Mohammed, "the necessary measures will be taken", the interior ministry¹⁰ said in a statement on Saturday.

Earlier, the king had ordered the reconstruction¹¹ of the Meknes minaret "keeping to its original form."

The government is investigating the cause of Friday's collapse. Meknes is on Unesco's world heritage（遗产） list.
