A fire inside the rubble pile of the building that collapsed Thursday (24) in the town of Surfside, outside Miami, in the United States, is making the complex process of rescuing victims difficult.
The death toll currently stands at nine, and there are still dozens of people missing.
“Our rescuers found another body in the rubble,” said Daniella Levine Cava, mayor of Miami-Dade County, where Surfside is located, on Saturday.
The slow death toll despairs the families of the victims, grieving at not knowing the whereabouts of their loved ones.
