“#Florida condo death toll hits 32 as storm threatens search<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

Four more bodies have been pulled from the rubble of the collapsed Florida condominium building, pushing the confirmed death toll to 32, officials announced Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Family members were told about the additional deaths during a closed-door briefing in the morning, fire officials said.<\/p>\n

Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava confirmed the latest tally at a press conference at the site, which is still under threat from Tropical Storm Elsa.<\/p>\n

Cava said that only 26 of the 32 now confirmed dead have so far been formally identified.<\/p>\n

She also stressed that authorities have only been able to confirm that 70 of the 113 people still unaccounted for were definitely in the Champlain Towers South building when it first partially collapsed 13 days ago.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe waiting is unbearable,\u201d the mayor said of the many families still awaiting news<\/a> on their missing loved ones.<\/p>\n

She said rescue teams would remain searching for potential survivors even with \u201cextremely adverse and challenging conditions\u201d from the tropical storm that has sparked a state of emergency throughout much of the Sunshine State.<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough the rain and through the wind, they have continued searching,\u201d she said of the heroic crews.<\/p>\n

\"Rescue
Despite the 13-day operation, no one has been pulled out alive since the first few hours of digging after partial collapse in the early hours of June 24, 2021. <\/figcaption>

Workers only recently temporarily halted their efforts due to lightning strikes, which she said was mandated by law.<\/p>\n

Bands of rain were expected at the site as Elsa strengthened, with the potential for the storm to become a hurricane again before it makes landfall somewhere between Tampa Bay and Florida\u2019s Big Bend late Tuesday into Wednesday and crossing northern Florida.<\/p>\n

Miami-Dade Assistant Fire Chief Raide Jadallah said workers have removed 5.5 million pounds of debris from the pile so far.<\/p>\n

Despite the 13-day operation, no one has been pulled out alive so far from the site after the first few hours of digging since the partial collapse in the early hours of June 24. Still, Cava insisted Monday that it is a \u201crescue\u201d operation and not a \u201crecovery.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is hope there are voids to continue the search and rescue operation,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
