The victims, aged 20 to 30, reportedly jumped to their death from the windows of the 10-storey building, in an attempt to escape the burning flames.
AFP news agency reports that a two-year-old and an adult were also seriously hurt in the blaze inside the ten-floor building, Marseille public prosecutor, Dominique Laurens, said.
The child was very seriously burned, while nine other people reportedly sustained less serious injuries.
A 31-year-old Nigerian man had been living there for a year with his wife, now six months pregnant. Every month, the couple had to pay illegal rent to drug dealers who deal in the building.
