More than 150 people remain missing amid a days-long rescue effort after a condo tower in Surfside, Florida, partially collapsed.
At least four more people were confirmed dead, bringing the official death toll to nine, officials from Miami-Dade County confirmed Sunday.
Families are growing increasingly anguished at the slow pace of recovery, and authorities have been DNA-testing relatives to help make IDs.
Searchers have dug a trench through the site to assist with their efforts, which were temporarily halted early Sunday morning when the rubble shifted. The trench provided access into new areas, authorities said.
“As a result of that, we were able to recover four additional bodies in the rubble, as well as additional human remains,” Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava said at a Sunday morning press conference.
