The death toll from the collapse of an old four-storey residential building in the Jordanian capital this week has risen to 14 after the last body was exhumed from the rubble, a Jordanian security source said Saturday.

Public Security Directorate spokesman Amer Al-Sartawi said that strenuous search and rescue operations were made since the building’s collapse.
