United States: Relatives of the missing visited the place where a Florida condominium building collapsed where rescuers continue to remove debris, clinging to the hope that people are still alive, Cubasí reports.
The death toll increased by just four people, to a total of nine confirmed. Police identified those four on Sunday night: Christina Beatriz Elvira, 74; Luis Bermudez, 26 years old; Leon Oliwkowicz, 80 years old; and Anna Ortiz, 46 years old.
After nearly four full days of search and rescue, more than 150 people remain missing in Surfside. No one has been found alive in the rubble since Thursday, hours after the collapse.
Rescuers assured family members that they are doing everything possible to find their loved ones, but also indicated that they need to work carefully to have the best chance of finding survivors.
Dozens of rescue workers are still on the huge pile of rubble looking for survivors, but so far they have only found bodies and human remains.
The collapse of the 12-story building left a pile of rubble several meters high. Such conditions have frustrated crews searching for survivors.
