Search and rescue enters seventh day at US condo collapse site

Description

Search and rescue teams continue their work at the site of the partially collapsed apartment building in Surfside, Florida. While the official death toll is only 12 after most of a building in the Miami-area town of Surfside suddenly pancaked early last Thursday, hopes are dwindling that the hundreds of rescuers combing the oceanfront site will find anyone alive. Colonel Golan Vach, head of an Israeli military unit that specializes in search and rescue operations, told CNN his team had found more bodies -- but added that no new death toll would be disclosed until next of kin were notified.
