The 40-year-old 12-storey block collapsed a month ago, one of the worst building collapses in US history.

The search for victims in a collapsed Miami apartment block has officially finished, the city's fire and rescue department says.

Champlain Towers South, in the Miami suburb of Surfside, collapsed in the early hours of 24 June, killing at least 97 people. It is believed that one victim is still unaccounted for and police will continue to look through the debris for personal effects. Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava said:"At this step in the recovery process it has become increasingly challenging to identify victims.

"We are relying heavily on the work of the medical examiner's office and the scientific, technical process of identifying human remains."During the four-week search, no survivors were found and officials formally gave up hope of finding anyone alive on 7 July.
