Rescue crews in the Dominican Republic dug through the remains of a nightclub after its roof collapsed earlier this week, killing at least 184 people – but hope of finding survivors was slim.

Meanwhile, dozens of people in the capital of Santo Domingo still searched for their loved ones, growing frustrated upon getting no answers after visiting hospitals and the country’s forensic institute.
