A total of 159 people are still unaccounted for after an oceanfront apartment building collapsed near Miami, killing at least four people.

The search at the 12-storey Champlain Towers South building just a few miles north of the Florida city’s South Beach is taking a toll on relatives who can do little but hope that their loved ones will somehow be found alive.
