Rescue efforts at a partially collapsed Florida apartment building have been halted due to concern about the stability of the remaining structure.

Search crews that have been on top of the pile of rubble for the last week stopped work shortly after 2am local time, Miami-Dade county mayor Daniella Levine Cava told a news conference.
