Florida fire teams worked through the night in hopes of finding survivors in the Miami-area building collapse that has left nearly 100 people unaccounted for. Officials fear the death toll may skyrocket as they dig into the rubble of the 12-story tower.

Rescue workers walk beside the rubble as rescue efforts continue where a wing of a 12-story beachfront condo building collapsed, Thursday, June 24, 2021, in the Surfside area of Miami.

Only one person had been confirmed dead, but officials feared that number could skyrocket. Eleven injuries were reported, with four people treated at hospitals. About half the building’s roughly 130 units were affected, and rescuers pulled at least 35 people from the wreckage in the first hours after the collapse.

Argentines Dr. Andres Galfrascoli, his husband, Fabian Nuñez and their 6-year-old daughter, Sofia, had spent Wednesday night there at an apartment belonging to a friend, Nicolas Fernandez. Israeli media said the country’s consul general in Miami, Maor Elbaz, believes that 20 citizens of that country are missing.
