Rescuers recovered 10 more bodies from the rubble of a building in Surfside, in Miami-Dade, adding the bill to 46 deaths due to the partial collapse of the building on June 24.

During a press conference, the mayor of Miami-Dade, Daniella Levine Cava, also noted that the number of missing now stands at 94, while the number of people located rose to 200 with new reports.

Up to 200 rescuers work on the site where since 1981 the Champlain Tours South, completely demolished last Sunday due to the instability of the part that was left standing after the collapse.

The demolition gave a new rhythm to the search operations, as rescuers now have access to the entire land where the 12-storey, 40-year-old building of the Tours Champlain South was located.

On Tuesday 8 new bodies were reported and now 10 more, while for days the maximum was 4 per day. The mayor said that of the 46 deaths to date, 32 have been identified.

The last bodies identified are those of Nancy Krass Levin, 76; Jay Kleiman, 52, and Francis Fernandez, 67, all recovered from rubble last Monday, according to Miami-Dade police.

Since the building’s northeast wing collapsed, only three people have been found alive in the rubble.

Voice crackling with emotion, Levine Cava once again thanked the rescue teams for their work and dedication and expressed his joy that they were not harmed in the performance of their task.

They are “superheroes,” said Levine Cava, who at the same time called on people to continue to pray and to have in their hearts “those who are grieving and those who are waiting” for news of the missing.

“The search for these people is deeply personal, because they are our community, our neighbors and our families,” he concluded.
