AUTHORITIES SEARCHING FOR victims of a collapsed building in Florida have said they hope to conclude their painstaking work in the coming weeks as a team of first responders from Israel departed the site.
Miami-Dade county mayor Daniella Levine Cava said 90 deaths have now been confirmed in last month’s collapse of the 12-story Champlain Towers South in Surfside, up from 86 a day before.
